The NPG Photography Scholarship Contest requires a submission of a photograph of a threatened environmental treasure that you believe is worth protecting, along with an explanation (40-50 words) of how population growth has put this treasure at risk.

The contest is being sponsored by NPG, a national membership organization devoted to population issues.
