A Look Back on the Iconic Winners of the MNA Annual Photo Contest
Since 2011, professional and hobbyist photographers have been invited to submit their best images of nature from all around the state of Michigan. Over the years, we've received hundreds of photos of landscapes, flora and fauna, and folks enjoying our state's natural features, all captured by the artistic perspectives of Michiganders.
In celebration of the 14th iteration of the contest, we thought we would share the overall winners of the Annual Photo Contest from the past 13 years. These photos help MNA tell the story of why protecting our natural heritage is critical.
