All winning photos will be featured on the new site and any photo submitted may be featured on secondary pages, as well!
“We’ve held several photo contests on social media and have gotten a wonderful response,” stated Communications Manager Milissa Reierson. “We have many wonderful photographers in our City and want to call on all of them to send us their best photos for this contest. We hope those who visit our new website will get a view of our City from our resident’s eyes! We know we have a great place to live and work and want to share that with everyone!”
