Monthly winners receive prizes and advance to the final round, with overall winners selected in January 2027. Winning images may be featured on the district’s website, in print publications, on social media and in the 2027 Forest Preserve calendar.
Prizes include a $500 MasterCard gift card for first place, $250 for second place and $150 for third place. Monthly winners will receive a $75 MasterCard gift card, and three additional $75 gift cards will be awarded through a random drawing.
Photos must be submitted online via the district’s contest upload page. Images must be .jpg files no larger than 10 MB, include the preserve or trail location and may not be AI-generated. Minimal, non-AI photo editing is permitted.
