Congratulations to the winners of our 12th Annual Environmental Photography Contest

1st prize ($150): Samuel Littman, Biochemistry and Biotechnology

Anemone Acropolis

Location: Washington Coast

On the Washington coast, tide pools create pockets of life in which sea creatures can thrive until the tide comes back in. This gives these anemones the opportunity to photosynthesize thanks to their symbiotic relationship with certain types of algae, all the while guarded by an army of mussel sentries.

2nd prize ($100): Jack Rogen, Community Health and Political Science

Red Eye

Location: Tortuguero National Park

The photo of a tree frog was captured in Tortuguero National Park using a 50mm prime lens.

3rd prize ($50): Eric Grin, Biochemistry, Russian & Eastern European Studies
