During the Industrial Revolution, businesses let waste run directly into the Schuylkill River, polluting the river and killing wildlife. Today, the Schuylkill once again supports a variety of fish and wildlife. Additionally, the river serves as a destination for sports and recreation. Rowers, fishermen, runners and families have rediscovered the Schuylkill as an ideal spot for an afternoon picnic or just a fun place to spend time outdoors. We want to encourage even more people to visit the Schuylkill. Help us show how amazing the Schuylkill River is by submitting pictures to the Schuylkill Shots Photo Contest!
Contest Rules
Individuals can submit up to 6 photos that fall into the following categories:
- Wild & Scenic – Highlight the scenic beauty and wildlife thriving in and along the Schuylkill River and its streams
- Fun on the Schuylkill – Show us your favorite thing to do on the Schuylkill

All photos must be submitted by October 30, 2013. Judges will select the top 10 photos that best represent the Schuylkill River, the streams and creeks that flow into it, or the water that we use from the river.
