State Parks centennial photo contest winner named

A photo capturing a family jumping for joy bounded over 17 other finalists to win the Texas State Parks photo contest grand prize.

The year-long contest, part of Texas Parks & Wildlife’s (TPWD) festivities celebrating 100 years of Texas State Parks, elicited more than 6,000 entries.

A panel of judges chose four seasonal winners and runnersup, which were then entered into a public vote to select the grand prize winner.
