KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – The Tennessee Valley Authority is sponsoring a photo contest for the best pictures of its lakes and recreation areas.

To enter, photographers should tag their photos #TVAsummer and post them to their Twitter or Instagram accounts. They can also be uploaded directly to the utility’s Facebook page.

According to the utility, millions of people each year use TVA lakes for boating, fishing, waterskiing and other recreational activities. The 239,000 acres of land surrounding the lakes provide opportunities for camping, picnicking, hiking and nature photography.

The contest begins this week and runs through Labor Day.
