WRWA is also planning the 2009 watershed calendar. To submit an image send your color digital images of nature in the watershed (i.e. the river, streams, wildlife, plants, etc.) to WRWA. Pictures should be submitted as JPGs. Certain image criteria must be met in order for the image to be used in the calendar. Image size should be no smaller than 10 x 8 inches (pixel dimensions 3000 x 2400). Image resolution should be 300 dpi or greater. Deadline for image submission is June 1, 2008. Each image should be given a title by the artist. Please name the image file to match the image title. The artist should also include their name, so that they can be credited in the calendar. Email images to water@wrwa.com or if submitting multiple images put them on a CD and send it to the WRWA office: 1151 Main Road, Westport, or mail to WRWA, P.O. Box 3427 Westport, MA 02790.
