NOAA 200th Celebration Photo Contest Winners
To help commemorate NOAA's 200th anniversary in 2007, NOAA sponsored the NOAA 200th Celebration Photo Contest. The contest collected images that honor NOAA's visual heritage and to expand its image library. The winners in four categories were announced at the 200th Opening Ceremony in December, 2006.
Postcards from the Field
As part of the 200th Celebration, we asked staff from around NOAA to send in their "Postcards from the Field." A "postcard" is a photo from a NOAA field office, science center, or any site on the globe where NOAA is conducting research or field work. The postcard includes—anywhere in the shot—a NOAA 200th emblem or banner.
