The 1st Infantry Division and Fort Riley are hosting their next photo of the month contest. The contest opens on April 4 and closes on April 30 at 5 p.m.
On the first Friday of each month, the winning photo of the prior month is featured on the 1st Infantry Division 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 1ID Facebook cover photo.
This month’s photo theme is “Earth Action.” Individuals in surrounding communities are encouraged to submit a photo that shows themselves or their family enjoying the outdoors. Some examples include, but are not limited to; walking your dog, playing basketball, outdoor spring cleaning, hiking, camping, having a meal outside, etc.

The 1st Infantry Division congratulates our “Kids Creations” March photo contest winner, Jose Laurel. Jose is a 5th Grader at Oliver Brown Elementary, located within USD 383, Manhattan-Ogden Schools. Laurel’s artwork was also selected to be the cover image for the Oliver Brown yearbook.
