To mark Earth Day 2022, the 2nd annual Ripple Effects Photo Contest returns to the Louisville area. Open to students from kindergarten through high school, this year the competition is asking youth to take photographs reflecting what clean and healthy waterways in Kentuckiana mean to them.
In support of the contest, Waterfront Park will host a free workshop on Monday, May 9, 6:00 –8:00pm. Facilitated by local and nationally recognized photographers Aukram Burton, John Nation, and Pam Spaulding, the workshop will teach participants the basics of how to take better photos, followed by a walk across the Big Four Bridge. The class will meet at the Louisville Community Boathouse (1321 River Road). To register, please visit LFPL.org/RippleEffects.
The Ripple Effects Photo Contest is open to all residents of Kentuckiana, including counties on both sides of the Ohio River. Submissions are due by June 10 (one photo per student) and cash prizes will be awarded for the best photographs in four age categories (kindergarten through 2nd grade, 3rd through 5th grade, middle school and high school). Winning images will again be displayed at the Kentucky State Fair. For complete rules and registration, go to LFPL.org/PhotoContest.

If you are on the hunt for last minute Kentucky Oaks or Derby tickets, beware that scammers might try to fool you into purchasing fake tickets. BBB offers the following tips:
Check out the business. If you are purchasing from a company, check their Business Review at bbb.org to read customer reviews or their complaint history. Also check to see if they are a member of the National Association of Ticket Brokers (natb.org).
Consider the source. Are you purchasing from a ticket broker (a legitimate and accredited reseller) or a ticket scalper (an unregulated and unlicensed ticket seller)? If you are purchasing from an auction site, check to see if the site offers any guarantees. Remember, you might get a great deal on Facebook Marketplace or other sites, but sales are not guaranteed.
Payment methods. Use a credit card whenever possible. Many credit cards offer buyer protection and allow you the opportunity to dispute a charge. If you are asked to wire money straight to the seller or pay by gift cards or prepaid debit cards, stay away.
At this time, tickets can still be purchased directly from Churchill Downs, which is one of the safest and most guaranteed sources. If you believe you have purchased a counterfeit ticket, report it to the National Association of Ticket Brokers hotline at 630-510-4594.
