WASHINGTON - The E.P.A. (EPA) is asking the public to vote for their favorite entries in the 4th yearly Rachel Carson Sense of Wonder Contest. A panel of judges selected the finalists in 5 categories: photography, essay, poetry, dance and mixed media (photography and a poem or essay). Finalists were selected based on originality, creativity, use of an intergenerational team, and ability to capture a sense of wonder.
Carson is considered to be the founder of the contemporary environmental movement through her landmark book, "Silent Spring." Using the title of another of Carson's books, "The Sense of Wonder," the contest sought submissions "that best express the 'Sense of Wonder' that you feel when observing the sea, the night sky, forests, birds, wildlife, and all that is beautiful to your eyes."
The deadline for voting is November 1. The winners will be announced later that month. They will gain a certificate for their accomplishment and will be acknowledged on EPA's website.
The contest is sponsored by the E.P.A. in partnership with Generations United, the Rachel Carson Council Inc., and the Liz Lerman Dance Exchange.
