The 2025 LTER Photo Contest has concluded and the winners are Luquillo and Konza Prairie!
Congratulations to the winning photographers, Leonardo A. Rivera-Pagan and Rachael Brenneman. You can find the announcement on our instagram @lter_community.
The graduate student organizers received an amazing 269 photos from undergraduates, graduate students, postdocs, faculty, and staff alike across 27 sites and would like to thank all of the dedicated photographers for their participation.
Over the next few months, all photos with the engaging captions submitters developed will be posted to the LTER SmugMug repository (along with hundreds of other LTER photos and graphics) and available for everyone to use in publications and presentations.
