Take your best shot in our "Discover True-Blue Texas" Flickr Photo Contest

Do you like to take pictures of friends and family having fun? Have we got a deal for you! LCRA's Colorado River Trail invites you to enter our photo contest - the "Discover True-Blue Texas" Flickr Photo Contest. Share your best photos of people enjoying the fun things to do on the Colorado River Trail, and get a chance to win exciting prizes.

Entering the contest is easy! Starting April 5 enter through Flickr, and online photo-sharing service, and add your contest entries to the Colorado River Trail group. Enter as many photos as you like. Remember that we want action! Photos should show people doing something. The possibilities are endless: fishing, kayaking, hiking, cycling, shopping, eating out and more.
