Think you're good with the video camera? Then enter the National Park Foundation's "Your Parks" contest and compete for an all-expense paid trip to the national park of your choice. As a bonus, if you're the winner you get to bring a friend along!

The contest runs through September 14th, so you've got plenty of time to capture the contest winner. But you've got to be brief. Videos entered in the contest must be no longer than 2 minutes long.

Sponsored by the National Parks Foundation and Olympus, the contest seeks to get you to best capture what national parks mean to you. How do they inspire you? Why are they important? Why should we protect them? The video that showcases the most inspiring, meaningful and thoughtful story and/or experience will win an exclusive top-of-the line prize package from the National Park Foundation and Olympus.

Here's how the contest works: Submitted videos will be displayed online at www.YourParks.com until September 22nd. Fans voting online, along with the National Park Foundation and Olympus judges, will crown one winning video and 10 runners-up. Those individuals will be announced at the end of September. The grand prize winner will receive an exclusive, all-expense paid trip for two to the national park of his/her choice, the recently released Olympus PEN camera kit, and a Federal Recreation Lands Pass – good for free entry into any one of the 391 National Park Service units for one year from date of issue. Runners-up will also receive a Federal Recreation Lands Pass as well as an Olympus Stylus Tough-8000 digital camera.

In addition, winners will receive gift cards for outdoor footwear and apparel from Merrell. Winners will also receive a copy of the new Ken Burns “National Parks: America’s Best Idea” DVD and companion book which will premiere on PBS on September 27th. The documentary chronicles stories of the people who helped create the parks, just as the “Your Parks” contest is an opportunity for people to tell their stories of how the parks touch their lives.
