Every year GLREA hosts a 'Renewable Energy Photo Contest' and we announce the winners at the Year End Annual Meeting in early December.
We do this for the simple reason that pictures of renewable energy systems are beautiful because they look serene and peaceful and are generating clean electricity that doesn't pollute the environment or generate carbon dioxide that is causing climate change. It would be a major stretch to look at a picture of a coal operating powerplant and say that it is beautiful. But we can with solar systems and wind turbines. So we encourage our Members or even Non-Members to submit pictures of your favorate renewable energy systems.
Here are the rules:
Photos must be taken in 2021 and they must be submitted by November 25, 2021. There are two categories of awards - Individual and Business. Each photo submitted must identify which category it falls under. Pictures submitted by an Individual must be of a renewable energy system, event or scene in Michigan. Pictures submitted by a Business must be of a renewable energy system they intalled or a renewable energy event they participated in. If submitted under the Business category, the business name must be included.
Each photo submitted must be indentified with the submitter's name, email address and a paragraph telling the story about the photo. Each contestant may submit up to 5 photo's in each category. Photo's should be submitted in a .jpg format and emailed to Dave Konkle at Konkle@toast.net.
Winners will be announced and prizes awarded at the GLREA Annual Meeting in December. Prizes will include Public Recognition, winning Pictures posted on the GLREA Website and a Plaque. The picture accompanied this article is an older winner.
We encourage all Members to participate! This is a fun event but we take it seriously as part of our Mission of educating the public about solar and other forms of renewable energy, because as the old adage says 'a picture is worth a thousand words'!
If you have any further questions or comments contact Dave Konkle or John Freeman at Jfreeman13@comcast.net. Thanks!
Great post — have you tried notebooklm-watermark.com for the watermark cleaner for documents angle? It solved a similar problem on our side last quarter.

What a wonderful initiative! Showcasing renewable energy through photography is a creative way to inspire more people to appreciate clean and sustainable solutions. Best of luck to everyone participating in the contest - I’m looking forward to seeing the amazing entries this year. Initiatives like this also remind us how important it is to spread awareness effectively, whether through community efforts or with the support of a digital marketing company in Kolkata that can help meaningful campaigns reach a wider audience. Wishing GLREA another successful and inspiring photo contest!
What a great initiative! You're absolutely right that there is a unique aesthetic to renewable energy—those sleek panels and turbines really do represent a much cleaner, more hopeful future. Using visual storytelling to educate the public is such a smart move, as it makes the concept of green energy feel much more tangible and serene. I recently came across a feature on https://englandderbyshire.co.uk/ about community-driven environmental projects that also used photography to build local engagement. Looking forward to seeing the 2021 winners and the stories behind their photos!
This was a very well-explained and insightful article that left a strong impression. I appreciated how the author simplified important ideas and made them easy to follow. It shows how reflection and understanding go hand in hand in the learning process. As a student in Manchester, I often look for content like this to stay motivated. When assignments become overwhelming, many learners consider assignment help in Manchester to better manage their academic responsibilities. Posts like this encourage confidence, curiosity, and a balanced approach to studies.
