The Cedarburg Bog is unique in southeastern Wisconsin and one of the most photogenic places in Ozaukee County. The Friends of Cedarburg Bog invite you to share what makes the Bog special to you by photographing its plant or animal denizens, natural beauty, or people enjoying the natural area.

A committee of the FOCB Board will judge the photo entries. Awards will be given in both youth and adult categories. 1st Place winners will be awarded $50, and all winners will receive a free membership to FOCB. Winners will be notified on 1 September 2012, and the Awards will be presented to the winners at the FOCB Annual Meeting and cookout in October 2012. Winning photos will be on display at the UWM Field Station.
