The Mystic River Watershed Association is pleased to announce a regional photo contest, “Explore Your Mystic,” for professional and amateur photographers. As part of the Association’s 45^th Anniversary, the contest is open to photographers of all ages and provides an opportunity to document the great beauty and challenges of the urban watershed – which includes 22 communities in the greater Boston area.

Beth MacBlane, Outreach and Communications Director, said “It’s always enlightening to see the images that are submitted – it’s a reflection on what the Mystic means to a diverse people.”
