Eastern National Announces the 2016 Passport To Your National Parks® Photo Contest
Fort Washington, PA, August 12, 2015 --(PR.com)-- Eastern National is pleased to announce the 2016 Passport To Your National Parks® Photo Contest. The contest is open to active National Park Service employees and Volunteers-In-Parks (VIPs).

The photographer of each winning photo will receive $500, or if the photo was taken on government time, $500 will be donated to the interpretive program of the photographer’s park. Park employees and VIPs are encouraged to submit photos taken during special events or anniversaries, and a brief description of the photo should accompany each submission. Images will be judged on quality, interpretive merit, and appropriateness of the subject matter.
Parks that have been previously featured on the annual Passport stamps are not eligible. Submissions must be received by September 15, 2015, and must be reproduction quality color originals in the form of a 300 dpi .TIFF or JPEG file, on a CD or thumb drive.
