Make A Splash Photo And Video Contest

The U.S. Department of Energy’s Water Power Technologies Office recently launched the Make A Splash Photo and Video Contest!

The contest invites photographers and videographers of all proficiency levels to submit photos and videos of water power that showcase the scope and potential of this renewable energy resource. Submissions should portray the latest advancements in water power technologies, research and development activities, and infrastructure.

The contest is open now through Nov. 17, and winners will be awarded up to $2,000 for a photo or video in one of nine categories. Please see the official rules for more on categories, eligibility, and submission requirements.
