The 1st Infantry Division and Fort Riley are hosting their next photo of the month contest. The contest opened May 6 and closes May 27 at 5 p.m.
On the first Friday of each month, the winning photo of the prior month is featured on the 1 ID Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/1stinfantrydivision/.
Additionally, for the remainder of the month, a copy of the winning photo is displayed in the entryway at Victory Hall, the 1st Infantry Division headquarters building. The winning photo will also be displayed as the 1 ID Facebook cover photo.
The Army said this month’s photo theme is “Show Us Your Achievement.” People in the communities surrounding Fort Riley are encouraged to submit a photo that illustrates themselves or a family member successfully accomplishing a goal by effort, courage, or skill. Examples may include, but are not limited to, graduating from high school or college, earning an A+ on a test, maintaining a weekly workout routine, purchasing your first car or home, etc.
To participate, follow the 1st Infantry Division’s Instagram account, “like” the competition announcement (posted at the start of the contest), and submit your photo via direct message to the 1st Infantry Division’s Instagram. Parents or guardians are encouraged to submit photos on their child’s behalf.
“Earth Action” photo contest winners for April were Kennedy and Graham. Their winning photo was taken on a hiking trail in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
This contest is in no way sponsored, administered, or associated with Instagram, Inc. The winning photo does not imply U.S. Army endorsement. Entrants must be 13 years old or older, and submit their own creative work. That work must be in keeping with Army values and the monthly theme.
