San Francisco, CA and New York, NY (April 14, 2021) — The Partnership for the Presidio, in col­laboration with non-profit Photoville, announces a call for entries to its My Park Moment photo contest, an opportunity for anyone to submit a photo of their fa­vorite park experience any­where in the world. From April 14 to May 28, ama­teur and professional pho­tographers alike are invited to submit images that show personal experiences in lo­cal and national parks: from a family picnic, to a walk in the Presidio, to a visit to Al­catraz or a trip to Yosemite.

A selection commit­tee of artists, educators, and non-profit leaders will choose 400 photos to dis­play outdoors in a dynamic, large-format show in the Presidio of San Francisco, part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, which is one of the most visited national parks in the country. The free show starts in September 2021 as a lead-up to the open­ing of the Presidio Tunnel Tops in Spring 2022. The show will take place at loca­tions surrounding the future Presidio Tunnel Tops area, where visitors can see the progress on the new trails, overlooks, and play areas while enjoying the show.

“The Partnership for the Presidio holds the value that parks belong to all of us. Parks are a shared trea­sure that bring us together, no matter our background or point of view,” said Mi­chael Boland, Chief Park Development and Visitor Engagement Officer for the Presidio Trust. “My Park Moment creates a place for people to share their park disidentestory and to celebrate the many moments to come at Presidio Tunnel Tops.”

The My Park Moment photo contest has several categories: Community Snapshot (Adult), Community Snapshot (Youth), and the Visual Story Award (Adult), which will award four photographers with a $2,500 cash prize for their multi-photo series.
