Helix Water District's Lake Jennings Photo Contest Runs Through March

OK, shutterbugs. Time to break out your DSLR's and show off your skills for a local photography contest.

Photos taken at Lake Jennings during the month of March may be entered in ’s Lake Jennings Photo Contest.  Prizes of up to $100 will be awarded in adult and student categories.

Photos can be of any aspect of the lake — wildlife, wild flowers, camping, fishing, boating, scenic views.  They can be up to 10 MB and must be e-mailed to:  lakejenningsphotocontest@helixwater.org. Entry and release forms must also accompany them and can be found at: www.lakejennings.org/photocontest/index.htm.  Contest rules are also posted at this site.

Lake Jennings is located just off I-8 at Lake Jennings Park Road.  Follow Lake Jennings Park Road north; a right turn on Harritt Road will take photographers to the entry gate — 9535 Harritt Road, Lakeside, California, 92040.

Photographer must stop at the Bait and Tackle Shop for a free pass any Friday, Saturday, or Sunday during March. Photography from the campground can be done on weekdays — passes available at the gate house. (Passes do not include fishing.)
