Your LSTCA Board of Directors is once again requesting photos from the community for the 2024 calendar.
This year our calendar contest wants to provide an opportunity for you to highlight the beauty and splendor that surrounds and showcases the “Convenience Room” when nature calls.
Do you feel your earth closet or friend’s, is worthy of being on the pages of our calendar? Or have you seen one that seems to have mystery and an enigma of its own? We want you to venture out and reconsider these often-overlooked structures to reconsider the aesthetic value they are hiding.
Please send us photos of the photogenic subject for us to determine which will grace the cover and pages for the “hole” community to enjoy next year. 🤣
While there is no monetary prize there are bragging rights should your photo be chosen.
Submissions made must be from the Louise, Susitna, Tyone and immediate surrounding areas in order to be considered. When submitting please advise where the photo was taken and feel free to include any names (Poo Poo Powder Room, The Meeting Hole, etc.), comments, puns or jokes you wish to company it.
Please do not submit any photos that contain objectionable or inappropriate content
Photos can be submitted by emailing [email protected] and must be submitted by no later than May 29, 2023.
