We’re kicking off a brand new challenge series, Great State, to showcase all of the great places to live or visit in the United States. First on our journey is Florida!

Florida is more than the infamous Florida Man headlines—there are tons of hidden gems that make it one-of-a-kind. Join our Great State challenge and show off what makes Florida a great place to live and to visit!

**Great State: Florida Challenge**

This is a photo and video challenge where you have the chance to showcase all of the unique (and sometimes quirky) things you love about Florida. Whether you’ve lived here your entire life or have only visited once, you can submit photos and videos for a chance to win prizes.

Share anything from majestic sunsets to the alligators in the Everglades, the Art Deco buildings of South Beach to the sandy beaches surrounding the state! Share any and everything that you love about Florida.

\*This challenge is only open to members that currently live in the United States\*
