It is time for the new CPRS Challenge! Get your best park photos together and submit them for a change to get them on the cover of the CPRS Magazine!
Are you ready for some friendly competition D10?
This initiative, created by CPRS HQ with the support of the Member Engagement Committee, aims to encourage greater involvement of CPRS members while fostering friendly competition among districts and sections. Each month, CPRS districts and sections will compete head-to-head to claim victory and win the coveted GRAND PRIZE at the Connections 2025: CPRS Conference & Expo in Sacramento.
Here is an overview of how the challenge works: A new challenge will be presented each month, and the TOP FIVE districts or sections in each challenge will earn points. At the Connections 2025 Conference, the district or section with the highest overall points will be declared the winner with a small prize for each member of the winning district or section.
To ensure fairness, points will be awarded based on percentages rather than raw numbers, ensuring that districts and sections of all sizes have an equal opportunity to succeed.
