Calling Provo residents, students, and visitors! Try your luck in Provo’s 4th annual citywide photography contest. The contest is from Monday, April 23, 2018 through Sunday, July 22, 2018. Adults, teenagers, children, Instagramers, photography enthusiasts, and amateurs can submit an entry.
Just make sure that the picture you submit for the contest is taken in Provo. So look around and notice what’s going on. Let others see what you see: that mountain morning light, a concert crowd at the Rooftop Concert Series, the bustling downtown scene, climbers at Rock Canyon, or the unique architecture in a historic Provo building.
Provo’s annual photo contest has become a great way to promote and encourage people who live here to notice and appreciate Provo and all it has to offer, visually as well as physically. I am excited to see the beautiful and unique nature of our city, captured by the camera lens. Good luck to everyone!
