Judges Announced for #GoPark Photo Contest

Calling all New Yorkers who have an eye for parks: only a few days left to join the #GoPark photo contest, for the chance to have your snapshot adorn official NYC Parks merchandise sold through City Store! Submissions will be judged by a panel of four experts on parks and design: First Deputy Mayor Patti Harris; NYC Parks Commissioner Veronica M. White; Chief Digital Officer for the City of New York Rachel Haot; and Founder and CEO of Infinia Group LLC Ron Cappello.

"From posting photos of your favorite outdoor activities online, to volunteering at a planting event or adopting a bench, there are many ways to share your love of NYC Parks," said Parks Commissioner Veronica M. White. "Enter your favorite park pics in the #GoPark photo contest by November 12, to show off your favorite hills, valleys, forests and fountains in NYC's great outdoors. I look forward to seeing all of the fantastic entries submitted by talented New Yorkers!"

Post photos that celebrate your love of parks with the tag #GoPark on Instagram or Twitter, or share them with the #GoPark Photo Contest application found on the NYC Parks Facebook Page at facebook.com/nycparks. The winning snapshot will also be featured on the NYC Parks website, Twitter and Facebook pages. The contest runs through 5:00 on Tuesday, November 12, 2013.
