The Friends of Schmeeckle Reserve group is accepting works for its second annual Writing, Art and Photo Contest. Entries are due Nov. 1, 2015. 

Contest submissions will be posted on the Friends of Schmeeckle Reserve website. First- and second-place winners in each category will be honored in a ceremony at a Friends board meeting. First-place winners also will receive a $25 gift certificate to the Browse Shop, a gift shop in the Schmeeckle Reserve Visitor Center that features natural and cultural gifts.

Submissions must be accompanied by a 75-100 word statement describing how the entry was inspired by time spent in Schmeeckle Reserve. All ages are welcome to participate.
