1. Post a link to the contest
2. Summarize the basic requirements including entry fees, contest deadlines, permission forms, file sizes, and other requirements.
It's free, the deadline is Dec 2, you need an account, and the file requirements are 4MB max, JPEG (or GIF), and 5 images max. There doesn't really seem to be a theme other than nature. And apparently you need to be 18+ years of age...
3. Evaluate your work against their requirements. Will your work be accepted?
I'm not the right age but I'll try to enter anyway. I meet thee size requirements (I had to make some smaller actually).

It doesn't seem to have a deadline, but seeing as it's a contest for 2010, I'm guessing that it will be open till then. There is an online submission form. The theme is ocean views, up to 20 images can be submitted, and it costs 25$. The images must be Low Resolution Jpeg files (500 KB max), approximately 6" on the longest side at 72 pixels per inch (ppi), colorspace RGB (ProPhoto or LAB color space is preferred), and 16-bit.
It also says "Identify each electronic image file with your First and Last name. Use an underscore to separate the brief species name and location. Make sure the file name ends in .jpg." like "DavyJones_Orca_PugetSound.jpg" so I think mine would be something like "LynnLe_Heron_LaPlayaBay_SanDiego.jpg".
They also ask for a background of the photo: Title (name of subject), Location, a Caption, Camera details, Lens manufacturer, Aperture, ISO setting (for digital cameras), Flash, Tripod and Head, and Other.
3. Evaluate your work against their requirements. Will your work be accepted?
I can probably enter the "All living things that depend upon the oceans: fish, mammals, birds, plants, etc., in or near the water", "Natural feeding, breeding, and other behavior", or "People enjoying the ocean environment" categories with two of my essay photos, and I can easily meet the size requirements with Photoshop. I can also submit a bunch of other photos I took that I didn't use. ---

For "Photos, Features, and Stories" I think I can enter the "Essay or Features", "Photography in Action", or "The Green Pages" category.
