The state Energy and Environment Cabinet is taking submissions from young nature photographers for a contest. The cabinet's "Capture the Earth" contest is for middle school students grades 6 to 8.
Cabinet Secretary Len Peters says the contest is meant to get students outside to explore their natural surroundings.
Entries will be accepted until 4:30 p.m. April 4.
The winner will receive lodging for two nights at a Kentucky State Resort Park. Students can email one photograph as an attachment to kidsphotocontest@ky.gov.
