Still Time to Sign Up for Tallahassee Outdoors-woman Workshop
September 24, 2008
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) still has openings for its Tallahassee Becoming an Outdoors-Woman (BOW) workshop for women who want to spend a weekend learning a variety of outdoor activities.
The three-day workshop will take place Oct. 10-12 at Camp Wallwood on the Gadsden County side of Lake Talquin. The program will begin Friday at 10 a.m. and end Sunday with lunch.
Although designed with women in mind, the workshop is open to everyone 18 and older who wants to improve their outdoor skills and enjoy a few recreational activities. During four, three-and-one-half-hour sessions, the workshop will teach skills associated with fishing, hunting and other forms of outdoor recreation, at all levels of physical activity.
The BOW Program offers a fun and supportive atmosphere for participants wishing to try new things and enjoy the camaraderie of others who want to learn about Florida’s great outdoors.Â
The cost for the program is $175, and there are a few discounted slots available for low-income participants, single parents and college students.
For more information on the BOW workshop and how you can register, visit MyFWC.com/BOW or call 850-413-0085.

Entries Now Accepted For 2008 Wyoming Wildlife Photo Contest
September 22, 2008
CHEYENNE– Wyoming Wildlife Magazine is now accepting entries for the 2008 photo contest featuring images taken in Wyoming.
Photographers can compete in several categories including Wildlife, Scenic-Pictorial, Recreational Activities and Flora. Entries for all categories except flora will have both color and black and white divisions. Flora entries must be color.
The grand prize winner will receive $300. First place in each category will be awarded $150, second $100 and third $50.  Winning entries will be featured in the April 2009 issue and noteworthy entries may also be selected for the April essay issue.
Entries must be either 8×10 inch color or black and white prints or 35 millimeter or larger transparencies. Digital images must also be submitted in 8×10 inch print format. Wyoming Wildlife requires that editing of digital images be limited to burning, dodging, eliminating dust spots, etc. Photographs in which content has been altered, (elements eliminated, added, rearranged, etc.) will not be accepted.
Wyoming Wildlife editor Chris Madson said that an increasing number of entries are submitted from digital photographs. Madson said sharpness of image is extremely important and that photographers would be wise to use a high quality photo paper as opposed to plain paper for best possible reproduction that will most accurately capture the original subject.
Entry forms and contest rules are available in the September, October and November issues of Wyoming Wildlife and on the Game and Fish Web site. Deadline for entering the contest is Dec. 1, 2008.
Wyoming Wildlife is available on newsstands or by subscribing at (800) 710-8345 for $12.95 for a year.
