Each month, Family Trails shares a theme to guide and inspire your Instagram storytelling. Our theme for April is "Fresh" and the hashtag is #FT_Fresh. Read on for more details on how to participate.

Spring is finally here and everything is popping up green. Whether you're taking a nature walk, planting a pizza garden, or digging in the dirt, we want to see how your family rings in spring! Share your stories with us on Instagram by using #FT_Fresh.

We pick four participants each month to receive Family Trails swag. Each recipient will be announced on Thursdays during the theme period. We will then feature a round up on our blog at the end of the month.

The most IMPORTANT part: in order to be considered to win, you must follow the instructions written below.

Instructions:

1.) Post your theme photo from a public account between the first of the month and 11:59pm EST on the 22nd of the month. There is no limit to the number of entries each account can share and tag.

2.) Use #FT_Fresh and #FamilyTrails in your original caption.

3.) In your caption, include a few sentences explaining how your photo relates to the theme.

You must follow the above rules to qualify for the prize. Swag recipients will be chosen based on the post's adherence to the aforementioned rules, image quality, caption quality, and overall creativity.
