The Stearns Conservation District (SCD) 2026 photo contest is now open!
Stearns County is a diverse county that originates from the people who share a passion and understanding for agriculture and conservation. The SCD invites individuals of all skill levels from across the county to submit their photographs for our 2026 conservation photo contest.
The photo contest is open to all Stearns County residents. Each person may submit up to five (5) photos in any of our three (3) categories.
Agriculture (e.g.: irrigation, crops, people, planting, harvesting, equipment, etc.),
Wildlife habitat (e.g.: pollinator, wildlife habitat, native plants, etc.)
Lakes and rivers (e.g.: local rivers and lakes, wildlife habitat, sunsets/sunrises, etc.),
The first-place winners in each category will receive a $50 Via gift card. In addition, first place winners will be entered into the “Grand Champion” category where they will have the chance to win an additional $50 Visa gift card. Second place winners will be eligible to win a Stearns Conservation District tree sale discount count for our 2027 tree sale. All winning photos will also be showcased in the 2027 SCD calendar. All photos will be judged by the Stearns Conservation District staff and Board of Supervisors.
