New North, Inc. is calling all college students with a camera to join in telling Northeast Wisconsin to say "Cheese" by entering the New North Photography Contest. Through the contest, students have the opportunity to earn over $4,000 in scholarships for taking photos of the region and submitting them to the contest website.
"The contest is a great way for students to get involved in promoting Northeast Wisconsin," said Jerry Murphy, Executive Director of New North, Inc. "And it's so easy to participate! Students can take a simple photo such as a classroom, a school event, or a business meeting, upload their photo online, and earn free scholarships."

Students can enter up to five submissions in each of six categories. The first-place winner in each category will receive $200 in scholarships and automatically become a finalist for the grand prize of $3,000 in scholarships. The grand prize winner will be announced on May 15th, 2010.
