Get your photo on a Nokomis East utility box! Submit your photo entries by Friday, July 26th to lauren.hazenson@nokomiseast.org.
NENA is looking for great photos of people, places, and things in the Nokomis East area that will be used to decorate utility boxes throughout our neighborhood. A total of seven photos will be chosen by a panel of your neighbors.
Submit photos with one of the following themes:
- Celebrating the rich culture and diversity of our community.
- Our relationship to nature and the environment.
- Getting together with friends, family, and neighbors.
- Getting outside and playing!
Rules
- All photos are welcome whether they are artistic or taken by a novice.
- Photos must be of places in the Nokomis East area.
- Entries must be original work.
- If individuals or small groups of people are featured prominently in the photo you must have permission from them to submit the photo. If the people in the photo are in large crowds or off in the distance you do not need their permission. Use common sense!
- Photographs must be in digital format. All digital files must be 25 megabytes or smaller and must be in one of the following formats (.jpg, .tiff, .png, .eps).
- Photos must be at least 3000 pixels wide (if a horizontal image). Photos in landscape in landscape orientation work best.
