WILMINGTON — The city’s latest contest could be a walk in the park — literally. Next month, Wilmington will participate in National Trails Day by holding a photo contest.
National Trails Day is held annually on the first Saturday in June with the goal of connecting people to trails, according to a press release from Wilmington Parks and Recreation. This year, it falls on June 3.
In celebration, Wilmington will host the National Trails Day Photo Challenge.
“Every trail beckons adventure and has a story to share with any person willing to discover it and we want you to share your stories in photos,” the release states.
Participants are asked to, first, hit the trails in Wilmington. Then post a photo to Instagram, Twitter or Facebook, with the hashtag #ilmtrailsday2017.
Photos must include the hashtag.
The deadline for submissions is Sunday, June 4. The best three photos will be chosen on Monday by Parks and Recreation staff and announced on Monday, June 5.
All photos posted with the hashtag #ilmtrailsday2017 will become public, the release states.
First place wins a $150 gift card to Great Outdoor Provision Company. Second place wins a $100 Dicks Sporting Goods gift card and third place gets a $50 Two Wheeler Dealer gift card.
Parks and Rec.’s contest information can be found online.
