The photo can be of your friends and family exploring nature, a view of wildlife or a beautiful sunset, for example.
Include a description of your experience in a 50-word caption. Where were you? What were you doing? What captured your attention? Please also include your full name.
The winner will appear on the back cover of the spring 2018 issue of Our Big Backyard.
No digitally altered photos, please. By submitting a photo, you consent to Metro's future use and publication of your photo. One entry per person per contest. Metro employees are not eligible to enter.
