Open for submissions through Oct. 1
INEZ — Pick your best shots and enter them in the Kentucky State Parks 2022 photo contest for a chance to win prizes and expose your photography.
You can submit photos now through Oct. 31 in four categories: camping, scenic, trails and park activities.
Qualifying submissions will be judged based on originality, artistic composition, technical quality and whether the photograph showcases the best of Kentucky State Parks camping and outdoor activities.
“Our Kentucky State Parks are places of beauty, from scenic mountain views to tranquil beaches,” said Russ Meyer, Commissioner of the Kentucky Department of Parks. “This photo contest will not only showcase the magnificence of our parks but will encourage travelers to see all the wonderful things our parks offer.”
All entries will be entered for a chance to win up to $2,550 in prizes. One grand prize winner will receive a two-night cottage stay, a Canon EOS Rebel T7 with 18-55mm lens and Kentucky State Parks gift card.
Four honorable mention categories will have first- and second-place winners. First place will receive a three-night camping certificate and a Kentucky State Parks gift card. Second place winners will receive a two-night camping certificate and a Kentucky State Parks gift card.
