Durham Parks and Recreation Sponsors a “How I Love My Park” Video Contest

 

Durham, N.C.: This month, Durham Parks and Recreation (DPR) is sponsoring a YouTube-style video contest entitled, “How I Love My Park.” 

 

The video contest is in observance of National Park and Recreation Month, a program created by the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA) and the America’s Backyard Initiative to raise awareness of the vital impact that parks, recreation and conservation have on communities across the U.S. 

 

To participate, residents must create a 30 second or 60 second video demonstrating how they love their park, upload it on YouTube by August 8 and email the link to DPRinfo at durhamnc.gov <mailto:DPRinfo at durhamnc.gov> . 

 

"Durham Parks and Recreation provides opportunities for our community to Play More, and no one can tell a better story about our parks than those who enjoy them” said Rhonda B. Parker,” director of DPR. "We're asking residents to grab a video camera and capture how they enjoy recreating at their favorite park.”

 

A panel of judges will select the top winners of three categories: best overall, funniest and most viewed video. The winning video of the best overall category will be shown on DTV8 (Time Warner Cable Channel 8) as well as uploaded on Durham Parks and Recreation’s website and Facebook page. The top winners in the funniest and most viewed categories will receive a DPR gift pack to include a lawn chair, beach blanket and picnic basket.
