Boulder County Parks & Open Space is challenging students to get out this spring break. Grab that camera (or phone), and get outside and enjoy nature!

The "Spring Out for Spring Break" photo contest is really quite simple in concept: Get outside and take a pic! Told ya, simple. Boulder County Parks & Open Space are inviting students and educators to welcome spring with open arms by grabbing some friends and getting outside. To enter the contest, contenders must visit a Boulder County Parks & Open Space location during spring break and take a selfie or photo with friends and/or family! Your photo MUST contain a person who is a student, or a school employee.

ONLY pics taken in Boulder County parks and open spaces will be considered, so keep that in mind. Properties like Chautauqua Park, Mount Sanitas, and Rocky Mountain National Park are not eligible. But hey, that shouldn't stop you from exploring all the open spaces Colorado has to offer ;). After you take your pic, post it to Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram with the hashtag #BoCoSpringOut between Saturday, March 24, and Sunday, April 1.

Full Rules:

  • Photos must include the name of the property where the photo was taken.

  • Photos can be posted on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram.
  • Max three posts per person on a given platform will be considered.
  • Each photo must be at a different property.

Five winners will be selected through a random drawing, so you don't have to worry about being knocked out by ultra-pro photos. The best part of the competition -- other than being outside and taking in Boulder's beauty -- is that there are some GREAT prizes they're giving away.
  • Daypack (child or adult size)
  • Trekking poles (child or adult size)
  • Mountain bike repair kit & pump
  • Fishing tackle box
  • Monocular with cell phone photo adapter
  • Dog cooling vest
Prizes Each of the five winners may only win one prize, but winners can choose their own prize from the list! Multiple prizes are available, so the winners can choose the same prizes as others if desired. Boulder County has TONS of beautiful open spaces that are just waiting for you to visit them. Boulder County Open Space/Spring Out offers up a list of places you can visit for your pictures!

Ever wonder why Coloradans LOVE the outdoors? Well, wonder no more.
