Channel your inner Ansel Adams or Wyman Meinzer this spring by heading to one of more than 90 Texas state parks and historic sites to photograph your friends and loved ones, wildflowers, wildlife and revered state landmarks, then submit them to the Texas State Parks Photo Contest.
The specifics
The Texas State Parks Photo Contest on Flickr will run between March 1 and April 30. Photographers could win any number of prizes, including a video camera courtesy of Whole Earth Provision Company, a weekend excursion in the Texas state park of your choice or a camp-out for up to six people in one of the many Texas Outdoor Family workshops.
Dinosaur Valley State Park in Glen Rose, will host photography workshops on April 14 and May 12. Other state parks will hold photography workshops as well, please inquire to TPWD for more information.
To enter
To enter, go to www.texasstateparks.org/photography and follow the links to the contest. Sign into Flickr (Yahoo), or for entrants who prefer to sign in with an existing Google account or Facebook account, there’s a way to do that, too.
