News: American Express EveryDay Park Moments - Credit-Land.com

Have you been itching to visit the Grand Canyon or one of the other iconic national parks across the U.S.? If so, then you could win a trip on American Express with a selfie and a bit of luck if you enter their EveryDay Park Moments contest. The grand prize is three trips to Yosemite National Park, Grand Canyon National Park, and the National Mall and Memorial Parks in Washington, D.C.

To get started while you’re in a national park or even your local park with your family and/or friends snap a selfie, write a compelling caption and share it on the website they have set up. Winners can bring up to three family members or friends with them on their excursion. American Express is taking submissions from July 30 to August 31, 2015.

The contest is a way to bring awareness to national parks. “We want to celebrate the #EveryDayMoments that families and friends can share together at their parks this summer,” said Jed Scala, senior vice president of consumer lending at American Express. “This contest encourages people to visit the National Parks and allows them to document the natural beauty and rich history that surrounds them—oftentimes right in their own backyard.”

Amex supports park volunteers

Last March American Express announced that they were donating a $5 million multi-year grant to the National Parks Foundation to help enhance volunteerism in national parks and museums. They are also partnering up with the foundation for their upcoming celebration of the National Park Service centennial, focused on bringing on a new generation of volunteers to the parks.
