The Western UP Food Systems Collaborative is hosting a photo contest to celebrate our communities’ rich foodways. You are invited to submit one or more photos from Michigan's Western Upper Peninsula that you love for their look, message, or personal meaning to one or more of the following categories:

Homegrown and Home Raised

Hunting, Fishing, and Gathering

Make It, Bake It, Preserve It

Food as Community

Local Festivals and Markets

Health and Wellbeing

Food Cultures and Histories

A Category of Your Choosing!

We hope that this contest inspires you to share stories about our community. Sharing your stories with the public is one way to generate knowledge about our community and this knowledge has the power to inspire social change. Please invite others to contribute to or hear our stories! Past and present submissions will be accessible to the public here Flickr. Your photos and stories may also be published on the WUPFSC website, the WUPFSC annual report, or in other WUPFSC publications. Thank you for contributing to WUPFSC's 'photobase' and raising awareness of our rich food resources.

We look forward to hearing your stories!
