Congrats to the winners of the 2019 Cal-IPC Photo Contest! Your pictures help us spread our message. Take pictures now, and enter them in the 2020 contest.
Cal-IPC’s outreach and education efforts rely on photos to show the devastating impacts weeds have on our natural communities. YOUR great pictures help tell the story of the hard work it takes to protect our wildlands from invasive plants. Anyone can enter! Photos may be used in Cal-IPC outreach materials, including our website, enewsletters, brochures, or reports (with photographer credit). Entries are displayed on the Cal-IPC Facebook page and at the Cal-IPC Symposium, where symposium attendees vote for their favorite photo.
