FLORIDA KEYS – The chance to win a Florida Keys vacation is a featured component of the #SeizeTheKeys photo contest that launched Monday, June 22.

The contest encourages people to share photos of themselves interacting with their environment and exploring the outdoors. Submissions can be a picture taken in the Keys or in the entrant's hometown.

Fans can submit an entry via the Florida Keys' Facebook page and are required to share it on their Facebook and Instagram channels using hashtag #SeizeTheKeys in captions.

The contest, organized by the Florida Keys tourism council, runs through July 31, 2015.
