Lake Living is a full-color regional guide to Northeast Georgia’s lakes.
Local photographers are asked to submit their photographic representations of these lakes.
Subjects can include points of interest, natural features, scenic views or people enjoying the lakes.

The magazine publishes the week of June 22 and will be distributed at visitor centers, chambers of commerce and retail outlets throughout the region during summer.
The winner of the cover contest will receive $100.

• Submission of a photo gives Community Newspapers Inc. the right to publish the photo in Lake Living magazine.
