The Red Cedar Watershed Conference is seeking photographers to submit high quality photos of the land, water and people of the watershed.
MENOMONIE, Wis. (September 2025) - Do you have an eye for stunning landscapes, powerful portraits, or the outdoor activities that bring the Red Cedar Watershed to life? The Red Cedar Watershed Conference invites photographers of all skill levels to showcase their talent in a new photo contest celebrating the land, water and people of the Red Cedar Watershed.
Stretching across nearly 1,900 square miles of northwest Wisconsin, the Red Cedar Watershed includes the communities of Birchwood, Cumberland, Rice Lake, Barron, New Auburn, Glenwood City, and Menomonie.

Photographers of the top five submissions will each receive a free registration to the conference.
