What Inspires You?

Lake Mendota Do you have an inspiring photo of one of Wisconsin’s special places? Maybe an essay or poem you wrote about a special place you go to relax on the weekend with your family? If you have an inspiring artwork, written piece, or picture of a special place in Wisconsin, we invite you to share it with us. From now through September 10th we will be accepting submissions for our ‘What inspires You?’  competition.

Why? We need your help!

We need your help showing people why Wisconsin’s special places are so important and why we are in the business of protecting them. Entries we receive will be used to create a conservation slide-show story that will be featured on the front page of our website and used to communicate the impact of special, protected places.

Prairie Burn One overall winner will be announced on September 11th and will win a $100 gift certificate toward any of Dillman’s Artistic Workshop Retreats, to be used by Oct. 31, 2013. Dillman’s Bay Resort has hosted over 10,000 students in the Northwoods of Wisconsin for the last 35 years at their artistic workshops.
