It is critical that the public understand the importance of our water resources to our economy and to our way of life. Those resources are crucial to the tourism industry as well, Blanco added. The Louisiana Travel Photo Contest is open to all age groups. Contest entries can be a photograph or slide of a Louisiana wetland or waterway. Color or black and white entries are allowed.
Photos can include people.
Complete rules are printed on the official entry form. Official entry forms will be available at all Office of Tourism Welcome Centers, at local tourist and convention bureaus statewide, at Louisiana State Park facilities and at most main branch parish libraries. There will be 10 winners chosen. Louisiana Life will publish the top winning photographs in a 1998 edition of the magazine. Complimentary meals and attractions will be provided including entry to the New Orleans Museum of Art, Longue Vue House and Gardens, the attractions of City Park and the Natchez Steamboat.
