We’re putting the July cover of Parks & Recreation back in your hands! Round up your top photos and get ready to submit them for the 2017 Park and Recreation Month Cover Contest. We’re looking for photos that tell a great story about play and adventure for all people and all ages.

Entries will be accepted now through March 31, 2017. NRPA will choose a series of finalists based on how well they meet the criteria by April 19. All finalist photos will be put to a public vote May 22–26 on Facebook. The photo with the most social power (likes) will be chosen for the coveted cover spot!

When considering which photo to submit, keep these tips in mind:

• Submit a photo with an interesting and compelling story behind it or one that represents Get Your Play On!
• Submit a photo that includes people in it. 
• Submissions must be high-resolution (at a minimum of 300 dpi) and at least 8.5 inches wide by 11 inches tall. 
• Consider how the Parks & Recreation logo will fit over your photo.
