It is time to start the new year with the March 2009 Photo Contest.

The theme for this month's contest is "Springtime".

Monthly Category: Springtime in Canoe Country

I think many of us have Spring on our minds so lets see some photos which bring Spring forward a month.

There is again a special reward for this months contests. Along with winning a hat, Wilderness Passages Magazine, created by long time member QPassage, is giving a free copy of their great magazine and a 2 1/2 hour DVD of Quetico footage to the winner of the photo contest and trip report contest. For more information about Wilderness Passages, you can visit their website at WildernessPassages.com

Remember 1 entry per person please. This helps us vote accurately.

Rules:
- You must be signed in as a member with a valid email address in your profile to enter (or win).

- You can only enter one photo per monthly contest. You can enter the same photo if it did not win in a previous month.

- You must be the photographer of the photo.

- Photos are entered in the contest by making a reply posting to this message and using the "Add a photo to this message" link during composition. This will allow you to upload a photo from your computer to the contest or allow you to select a photo which you have already loaded into your photo gallery on this site. If you want to enter your photo in another way, please contact us.

- Please describe in the message where the picture is from.

- Judging will be done by the www.bwca.com staff and moderators.

- A member may win once per year.

- Photos must be posted to this message by 11:59pm on March 31st.

- Photos must be in jpg or gif format to be uploaded to the site.

Contact me if you have something in a different format or are having problems uploading to the site.

Thank you for participating!

I know the theme is spring but this picture was taken on may 27th on Turtle lake. It was the eriest thing when this one snow cloud came up with the sun in the background. I could hardly see my buddy as he posed while casting from the island campsite.

It is really cool to see the sun swirl through the snow!
