~ The Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services (PRCS) department in Colorado Springs is inviting photographers to submit their best shots for the 12th edition of the Discover COS calendar. This annual calendar showcases the natural beauty of the city's parks, trails, and open spaces.

The 2025 Discover COS Calendar will have a special theme of "Places less traveled: spotlighting the power of recreation in Colorado Springs." PRCS is looking for photos that capture community recreation and hidden gems throughout the city. This includes rarely-featured parks, lesser-known trails, and impactful recreation areas.
