INDIANAPOLIS – A new DNR social media contest encourages Hoosiers to stay connected with the online world even as they unwind in the great outdoors.

The contest asks people to share their outdoor experiences on the Instagram photo-sharing service (www.instagram.com) and follow DNR at indianadnr. To participate, post a photo and use the hashtag #getINoutdoors. Make sure to identify the subjects and locations in the photo and tag indianadnr.

Participants will be entered for a random chance to win a 2015 annual entrance pass for Indiana State Parks and Reservoirs. The contest ends Sept. 19. The DNR may use the photo entries for promotional purposes.
