It’s time for the City of New Hope’s annual In Focus Photo Contest. We want to see how you view New Hope through your lens! This is a great opportunity to showcase your skills while also sharing what makes New Hope so great!
This year’s categories include Candid Community Moments, Nature & Landscape, Wildlife & Animals and Architecture & Urban Spaces. A panel of judges will score each photo and award a winner in each of the four main categories along with a special category designated for youth photographers 18 and under. There is also a chance to win the People’s Choice Award. In August the community will vote on their favorite photos, and a special award is given to the photo with the highest number of votes.
All photos submitted to the In Focus Photo Contest must be taken by individuals who live, work or go to school in New Hope. The photos also must be taken within the city.
