Six prizes, three to each group, will be awarded with the first-place winner receiving $500, second-place $250 and third-place $100. Entrants are also encouraged to initiate a clean-up of their photographed area for extra judging points. Clean-ups can be registered with Keep PA Beautiful’s Pick-Up PA program.
