1. MAKING MEMORIES - Memories are easy to come by in
issouri's state parks. Whether it's helping your grandkids
cast their first lines or spending an afternoon on the ater
with your family and friends, be sure to capture those
unforgettable moments.
2. CAPTURE THE BEAUTY - issouri's state parks and
historic sites are blessed with an abundance of natural
beauty: rolling prairies, rugged hills and scenic rivers.
Entries should capture scenes worthy of a postcard.
3. DISCOVER THE PAST - From covered bridges and mills to
homes of famous issourians to issouri's irst tate
Capitol, history is everywhere inside the parks system.
4. PARKS LESS TRAVELED - issouri's parks are popular
places. he udges are looking for the beauty you find in
some of the less traveled parks or even less traveled portions
of any state park. t's up to you if you're illing to
share what you think is your secret state park spot.
5. COLORS OF THE SEASON - A blanket of snow surrounding
a bright red mill in the inter. olorful oers against
impossibly green grass in the summer. Or the sun setting
past trees in the fall as they begin to change colors.
Reminder, photos entered do not have to be from 2023.
