The IAPD/IPRA Joint Editorial Committee invites you to show off your agency and its visual images with “Give Us Your Best Shot,” a photo contest sponsored by the Illinois Association of Park Districts and the Illinois Park and Recreation Association. Photos submitted may be used: in future editions of Illinois Parks & Recreation magazine; on the cover of the IAPD/IPRA Membership Directory and Buyers’ Guide; or as part of the CD “The Best Photos from Illinois Parks and Recreation Agencies.”

There is no limit to the number of photos submitted. Awards will be given for 1st place and 2nd place in each category. Winning entries will be published in Illinois Parks & Recreation magazine and displayed as part of a special showcase at the IAPD/IPRA Conference in Chicago in January. Winners receive an award presented at their agency. Photographs will be judged on the basis of exposure, clarity/focus, subject matter relative to category.

Entries are due October 1. Click here to get more information.

Please send all entires to IAPD and direct all questions to the IAPD at (217) 523-4554.
