Photo by Paul Lamarre III
For the second year, the Great Lakes Seaway Partnership conducted a photo contest for the best images of Great Lakes freighters, tugboats and barges that travel across the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Seaway. The winners of the second annual contest — which was open from April to December, 2019, and had more than 270 entries — have been announced!
One of three first place photos (pictured) was captured by Paul LaMarre III and features the M/V Hon James L. Oberstar as it approaches the famed Johnson’s Point in the St. Marys River. First place winners received $500, second place received $250 and third place won $100.
The 2020 photo contest is now open and will end when the St. Lawrence Seaway closes for the season. Winners will be announced April 1, 2021. To learn more and to submit your original photos, visit greatlakesseaway.org/photo-contest.
