Can You Picture This?

Hi all!

Are you a photography buff? If you live in Flag or were just visiting recently and took a great photograph …then I have just the contest for you!

It’s the Winter Wonderland Theme Photography Contest, sponsored by the City of Flagstaff Parks & Recreation Division!

Okay, here are the rules:

As long as its clean (you know what I mean)….your picture can be of anything…snowfall, recreation, holiday stuff, whatever. All entries can be shot with a digital or film-based camera at any time. The contest is open to all amateur photographers. Although digitally manipulated entries are allowed, our Recreation staff is asking that you let them know the technique you used to create the picture.

You can get an entry form in the City Hall Park & Recreation office, 211 W. Aspen Avenue or you can go to the City Website: www.flagstaff.az.gov and click on the link in the calendar section.

The entry deadline is February 28th by 5:00 p.m. The age categories are: 8 to 12 year olds (no change to enter), 13 to 17 year olds ($2.50 per entry), and 18 and above ($5.00 per entry. The limit is two entries per person.

Prizes will be awarded in each class and age category…. $50.00 for first place, $25.00 for second place and $10.00 for third place!

Winners and finishers photo will be displayed at City Hall in the month of March…maybe I’ll even place a few on this blog!

SNOW issues….

Just a gentle reminder that there is no parking on City streets from midnight to 7:00 a.m. We had to tow 39 cars last weekend and we would rather not do that. Please, remember to park off the street overnight! Also be sure to clear your sidewalk after a snow storm…It’s the law!!!
