"Give Us Your Best Shot" Photo Contest Guidelines

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 (IAPD) and the Illinois Park and Recreation Association (IPRA).

There is a limit of five (5) entries per category. First Place finishers will receive an award presented at their agency, and Honorable Mentions will receive a certificate by mail. 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. Photographs will be judged on the basis of exposure, clarity/focus, subject matter relative to category.

Four categories for entry:
    Recreation/People at Play
    Sports
    Wildlife (deer, birds, butterflies, etc.)
    Nature/Landscapes (flowers, sunsets, lakes, buildings, etc.)
