At the culmination of National Park and Recreation Month, many Fairfax County Park-goers participated in a selfie photo contest hosted by the Fairfax County Park Authority. As the saying goes, a picture paints a thousand words.

The submissions demonstrated a diverse range of activities, settings, ages and culture but were connected by the common theme that Fairfax County residents find enjoyment, relaxation and strengthen their connection to family, neighborhoods and communities through Fairfax County’s park system.

The Park Authority is happy to congratulate the following contest winners in their respective categories. You can see the other entries by visiting the Park Authority's Flickr page.
