Every second week starting 4/4/2013 and running until an as yet undetermined date of our choosing, SCA will post a new photo in its Conservation Caption Competition. Photos will be provided by SCA interns and staff.

Deadline for submissions for captions will be 5:00 P.M. Eastern Standard Time on two days after the photo is initially posted. The Winner will be announced, if possible, on the Friday of the same week. SCA’s computer is the official time-keeping device for the Contest.
