TOLEDO HARBOR LIGHTHOUSE SOCIETY LIGHTHOUSE PHOTO CONTEST 2014 The Toledo Harbor Light Preservation Society is holding a photography contest for the 11th Anniversary July 12-13 Lighthouse Waterfront Festival. Photographs of lighthouses from any place are welcome. All amateur photographers (one who’s income from photography is not more than one half of their annual earnings) are invited to participate. There are 2 levels of competition. The first level (the beginner) is for new entries and those that have yet to win. The second level (advanced) will be for those who have won in the past, starting with 2012 winners. Once you have won, you will advance to the second level. If you choose to be in the second level as a beginner you may, but any past winners cannot go back to the first level. The categories will be the same in both levels, but only the top 2 in each category will win. Categories include: (1) Traditional (Any lighthouse) (2) The Toledo Harbor Lighthouse (3) A Fresnel Lens.
