You can be a photographer, too, if you win. The Michigan State Housing Development Authority and the State Historic Preservation Office are calling all photographers, both amateur and professional, to showcase Michigan's architectural heritage in a new photo contest.
Excerpt from MSHDA:
Officials from the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) and the Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA) today issued a call for entries from both amateur and professional photographers to showcase Michigan's architectural heritage by entering the "Old is the New Green" photo contest between May 1 and June 1, 2010.
During the month of May, State Historic Preservation Offices and communities around the country celebrate historic and cultural resources. National Historic Preservation Month is sponsored by the National Trust for Historic Preservation. The National Trust has declared this year's theme to be "Old is the New Green," in recognition of the significant role historic preservation plays in more environmentally and economically sustainable development.
"What better way to show our appreciation of Michigan's rich architectural history than through photo documentation from those that have an eye for the unique and the creative skills to capture it on film," said MSHDA Executive Director Keith Molin.
