Milwaukee's Central Park Photo Contest

Sponsored by the Urban Ecology Center Photo Club

The Milwaukee river corridor between North Avenue and Silver Spring Drive is the focus of an ongoing Photography Contest.

The Urban Ecology Center Photography Club will be sponsoring a contest for all ages and experience levels to draw attention to what is being dubbed as “Milwaukee’s Central Park.”

This area along the Milwaukee River has long been neglected. It has recently become an area of focus for three local organizations: Friends of Milwaukee’s Rivers, The Urban Ecology Center, and the River Revitalization Foundation, as well as other interested agencies, business and individuals. Together they form the Milwaukee River Work Group, an organization whose vision is to create a central park along the Milwaukee River upstream of North Avenue to Silver Spring Drive. Their goals also include preservation of the wild aspect of the natural area, improved water quality and public access, as well as the creation of a “viewshed” that would regulate development along the river’s edge. All of which would culminate in a permanently protected central park.

The Urban Ecology Center Photography Club is sponsoring a contest to draw more people into this “central park” area, creating more interest and awareness of the proposals set forth by the Milwaukee River Work Group as well as experiencing a little used recreational area in the middle of the city. The contest will be open to all ages in three experience levels: Adult Professional, Adult Amateur, and Youth under 15 years old, and will feature three categories: Human Interest, Nature (Landscapes and Wildlife), and Abstract.
