The LPA October 19 2010 competition will be for images of the Prime Desert Woodland Preserve (PDWP) shot beginning April 21, 2010. All types of images are acceptable, flora, fauna, people, and structures. Images from the competition will be used to produce a DVD for the PDWP to be shown in the PDWP Interpretive Center.

This will be a community service project.
