The U.S. Department of the Interior has announced the winners for their annual Share the Experience photo contest. Each year, the Department of the Interior invites visitors to the lands run by the National Park Service, the Bureau of Land Management, the Bureau of Reclamation, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the U.S. Forest Service to submit their favorite photos, with winners chosen in several categories. This past year's contest categories included Historic, Adventure, Night Skies, Scenic, Wildlife and Fan Favorite, as well as third, second and grand prize winners overall. The grand prize winning photo gives the photographer a $10,000 prize, and will be highlighted in the 2018 Annual Federal Recreation Lands Pass. Want to submit your own favorite photo?
