The California Department of Fish and Game's (DFG) Outdoor California magazine reminds photographers around the state that the deadline for the annual 2002 photo contest is approaching fast. All entries must be received at the Conservation Education Office, Department of Fish and Game, 1416 9th Street, Room 1240, Sacramento, CA 95814, by noon, Dec. 31, 2002.
Participants should keep in mind the following when submitting an entry:

* Photographers should avoid people and artificial structures (fences, utility poles, etc.) in their submissions.
* All submissions must be 35 mm slide (duplicates).
The entries are judged by a panel of outside photographers and biologists. In addition to "Photograph of the Year," excellence and honorable mention awards will also be given. Award-winning entries from the nine categories (birds, mammals, fish, aquatic invertebrates, terrestrial invertebrates, plants, natural environment, wildlife in action, and open) will be featured in the March-April 2003 issue of the magazine. The open category is for digitally enhanced images and those not fitting the other categories.
