The 2024 Share the Experience National Parks photo contest, held annually by the National Park Foundation, is underway.
This contest encourages amateur photographers to share photos of their favorite views, moments, memories, and adventures from national parks and public lands across the United States, with safety top of mind.
Winners of the 2023 Share the Experience photo contest, held by the National Park Foundation and partners, were announced mid-June 2024. The announcement of the 2023 winners officially launched the 2024 contest, which will run through December 31, 2024.
The grand prize for the winning image is $10,000, followed by $5,000 and $3,000 for second and third place.
The winning image will be featured on the America the Beautiful – the National Parks and Federal Recreational Lands Annual Pass, which covers entrance and standard amenity fees for participating federal locations throughout the country.
There are more than 500 million acres of federal lands and waters in the United States. Over 9000 photographs on these lands were submitted by photographers from across the country last year.
