2013 City Calendar Photo Contest

PHOTO ENTRY FORM:  Download one form for each photo submitted in contest.

Artwork for the City of Midland Calendar/Services Guide highlights the people, places, and events of the city of Midland as seen through the eyes of local photographers who submit photos in the City's annual photo contest. The 2013 City Calendar Photo Contest starts August 17 and runs through Friday, September 21, 2012.

Individuals are invited to submit color photos of Midland events, people at work or play in the city, scenic or historic places around town, or just your favorite snapshot of life in the city. Photos of all seasons are encouraged.

Following the Sept. 21 submission deadline, photos will be gathered together, and a voting process will take place at the City of Midland. City employees will vote on the photos, and a final selection committee will narrow down the photos to choose those that best that represent the city. Selected photos will appear in the 2013 City Calendar and Services Guide.

There is a limit of three (3) photo entries per photographer. All photos must be submitted as color originals, and each photo must have its own photo entry form. Forms should be attached to the back of each photo with tape. Calendar photos will be selected on the basis of originality, creativity, and the quality of reproduction.

Photo entries will be accepted at the City Manager’s Office until 5 p.m. on Friday, September 21, 2012.

Photos submitted through the contest become the property of the City of Midland. Because many of the photos showcase the beauty and uniqueness of our community, they may be used for marketing purposes by the City, such as in City print publications or on this website.
