  • Photo Contest

Each month, we will choose a new theme and ask people to post photos that fit that theme to Instagram.

To be eligible for our monthly photo contest, share your photo and tag it with #lakemetroparks and the specified tag of the month. If you forget to tag your photo it will not be entered in the contest.

At the end of each month, finalists will be chosen and sent to be judged by our Facebook fans. One photo per month will be declared the winner.

Theme: #LMcreekwalk23

It’s summertime and what better way to keep cool than to walk in a creek (or river)! We’re looking for your best photos of creek walking in our parks.

There are two ways to enter:

Instagram: Tag up to five photos with #LMcreekwalk23 and #lakemetroparks. Please tag the park location.

Facebook: Click here to add up to five photos as comments to the contest post, add the tag #LMcreekwalk23 and include the name of the park.

Entry deadline: July 31. Finalists will be posted on Lake Metroparks’ Facebook page for voting.

Photo contest process:

  • Images will be judged on originality, technical excellence, composition, overall impact and artistic merit. The judges are a panel of Lake Metroparks staff members familiar with photography and responsible for selecting images for various printed and online marketing materials.
  • The judges will select up to five finalists, which will be posted for voting to Lake Metroparks’ Facebook page. Voting will take place after the monthly contest closes.
