CALLING ALL PHOTOGRAPHERS… DOWNTOWN LONGMONT NEEDS YOU!
Longmont’s downtown is bustling with a new vibrant energy, and we want to capture the excitement through beautiful, professional images of people enjoying all that we have to offer. Along the way, we’ll also be showing off the amazing talents of Longmont’s own professional photographers.
Apply now to take part in this friendly competition between photography professionals!
Here’s how it works:
1) Photographers will be asked to use their camera to answer the question, “How do you own downtown?”
2) Each photographer will then be assigned to a location and given limited time to set everything up and snap their desired photos. (Hint: Be prepared to get super creative!)
3) Photographers will be rotated to the next location—and all photographers will have a chance to work from every location for the same amount of time.
4) A panel of judges will then choose the winning photographic masterpiece, which will be used to promote Downtown. Limited spots are available, so apply today!
