People's Choice Award Winner

Dear Park Friend,

Our Spring Park Pics contest wrapped up last month and it was wonderful to look through the submissions and learn how our photo contest motivated people to explore their county parks. There is so much to discover in nature and one visit can lead to many more because each day offers something new.

In total we had six winners, including a tie in our Up Close with Flora category. Get to know our winning photographers and the inspiration for their photos. It is very enjoyable reading through their statements. Each winner receives an REI gift card, and their photos will be featured in our newsletters and on our website.

A big Thank You! to Leslie Holzman, the Parks Foundation's Membership and Communications Coordinator, for so expertly leading the whole Park Pics process with our 7-member jury. Nicely done! And thank you to All who entered our contest. We'll be back before you know it with Summer Park Pics in 2026!

See All the Winners Here!
