The West Virginia State Parks Foundation is accepting entries for its “Mountains are Always Free” photo contest through the end of February.

The contest is intended to showcase the best of winter in West Virginia state parks, forests and rail trails.

“West Virginia state park areas are absolutely beautiful in the wintertime,” said Foundation Executive Director Brad Reed. “Our state is known as a four-season recreational paradise, and we would love to see those gorgeous landscapes and snowy weather family fun captured on film.”

The contest is open to both amateur and professional photographers, with prizes awarded in three categories:

  • Winterscape: Photos of beautiful winter scenery and nature on West Virginia state park areas
  • Fancy Facilities: Winter photos of special West Virginia state park area buildings, facilities or features
  • Outdoor Recreation: Winter photos of your favorite West Virginia state park area outdoor recreation activities such as hiking, fishing and more

Winners will receive prizes from West Virginia State Parks.
