Great Lakes Forever and Budweiser have been partners since 2005 to produce the annual Great Lakes  Forever photo contest in an effort to raise awareness of the Great Lakes and engage people in their protection. We are proud to bring you the sixth annual photo contest!

Amateur and professional photographers are invited to enter their best Great Lakes photographs that exemplify the unique landscape of the Great lakes and the communities that live on the shores. We hope to see the diverse wildlife and natural areas, cities and cultures that make the Lakes unique. Six finalists will be chosen from the pool of hundreds of submitted photographs and win great prizes from Budweiser.

Grand prize winners will get their photo on beer coasters. Last year, the winning photos were printed on more than 120,000 beer coasters that were distributed to all eight Great Lakes states and two Canadian provinces. Not only does this contest highlight the talented photographers in the Great Lakes area, it also works toward making residents aware of the problems the Great Lakes face and engage them in protecting this vulnerable and valuable natural resource.
