Photography Contest Summary

Calling all local artists! Tidal Brewing Company, Hernando County Environmentally Sensitive Lands, and Roots Creative Co. are proud to announce our first-ever photography contest! This contest is the second part of our Tide for Cause Project. Tide for Cause aims to provide an array of unique opportunities that will educate Hernando County residents on how they can help restore local sensitive wildlife habitats and landscapes, protect our water quality, partake in nature-based recreational activities, and preserve the quality of life here on the Florida Adventure Coast.

The winning artists will be featured at our December 10th Tide for a Cause Event! We will spotlight the winning artwork and the winning artists will have the opportunity to display and sell artwork at this event as well. In addition to the reception, the event will feature a limited-edition beer release inspired by Lake Townsen Preserve and appearances by Hernando ESL and Florida Adventure Coast (Hernando County Tourism).
