The PA Parks and Forests Foundation is now accepting entries for its 2018 Parks & Forests Thru The Seasons Photo Contest.  The deadline for entries is September 5.

Let Pennsylvania’s state parks and forests inspire the Ansel Adams in you!

The contest allows professional and amateurs alike to vie for supremacy in a variety of categories, capturing all that is special and the memories that are made in our state parks and forests.

The categories for this year are: The Built Environment; Dogs in the Outdoors; Fun in the Outdoors; Beauty All Around; Young Photographers (ages 12-17)

Once selected each year, our photo showcase gallery goes on tour across the Commonwealth the following spring – and the whole process begins again with the launch of a new contest each September.
