The wildflower photo contest will begin on March 31, 2010 and will continue through May 14. A limit of ten pictures can be submitted via e-mail at promotions {at} riversidecountyparks(.)org or uploaded directly to the site at http://photos.riversidecountyparks.org.  Park visitors can submit their best photos of wildflowers in bloom at county parks. All entries will be judged by District staff, and finalists will be posted at www.riversidecountyparks.org so that viewers can vote for the best shots.

Online voting will begin on May 15 and continue through May 23.  Five winners selected by online viewers will receive prizes and will have their photos featured on the District’s web site on May 24.

Photos submitted must be the original work of the photographer. Winners will be contacted via e-mail and announced on the website. Galleries of submitted photos will be available on the site after May 14.

For a list of the best parks to spot wildflowers and for a list of other spring events, visit www.riversidecountyparks.org.

As with any outdoor activity, be mindful of vegetation that can cause allergic reactions.   For example, a purple wildflower found in burned areas called Turricula parryi, known as the poodle-dog bush, can cause symptoms similar to those caused by poison oak. For more information, or for a picture of a poddle-dog bush, visit www.riversidecountyparks.org.
