Our annual fall essay contest invites nonfiction submissions of up to 1,500 words in the form of autobiographical essay, reportage, profile, or narrative nonfiction. We seek essays that express a moment of significance — personal transformation, awakening, renewed sense of adventure, or a unique exploration, reward, accomplishment, revelation — that is inspired by or set within a park space or public land.
Essays need not be about a U.S. national park; national forests, municipal and state parks, BLM lands, beaches, lakeshores, campgrounds, designated woodlands—and more—are great subjects. Also note that the writer does not need to be the subject of the essay. First, second and third place entries will be published on Parks and Points, as will the names of finalists. All entries are considered for publication. Visit the contest page for these guidelines and a list of this year’s prizes.

Winners will be selected by contest judge, Jimin Han.
