FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
City calls for entries in community photo contest
Edina, Minn., April 29, 2010 – The City of Edina again extends an invitation to all residents and Edina business people
to enter the annual “Images of Edina” Photo Contest. It’s the picture-perfect way to show off your photography skills
and help capture the images that portray the many aspects of life in Edina.
As in years past, photos may be submitted in one of four categories representing the City’s vision statement: living,
learning, raising families and doing business. Because of the “Living” category’s popularity, it is broken down into two sub-
categories: “Living – People” and “Living - Plants/Wildlife.”
City of Edina gift certificates -- which can be used at any City park or facility, for utility payments or for permit/application
fees -- will be awarded to overall and category winners.
The deadline to enter this year’s contest is Friday, June 18. All submissions must be received by 4:30 p.m. and adhere to
the following guidelines:
Photographs must be taken in Edina.
Photographers may submit a total of four photographs, with a maximum of one per category.
Only photographs taken between June 19, 2009, and June 18, 2010, are eligible.
All photos MUST be submitted as 8x10 prints on photo-quality paper and should not be matted or framed.
Both color and black-and-white prints are accepted.
All entries submitted must be the original work of the submitting photographer.
Each entry should include the photographer’s name, address, zip code, daytime telephone number, age (if under
18), category, title of photo and enhancement description if the image was digitally manipulated in any way.
Entries should be mailed to:
Photo Contest
c/o City of Edina
4801 W. 50th St.
Edina, MN 55424
or dropped off at Edina City Hall.
By entering, photographers agree to the terms of the City of Edina’s Submitted Photo Policy. Entries will be judged on
subject matter, composition, clarity, lighting, depth of field, artistry/drama, degree of difficulty, technical excellence and
overall impact.
In addition to City gift certificates, contest and category winners will receive plaques from the City Council and have
their artwork displayed for up to two years at Edina City Hall and in an upcoming issue of Edina Magazine. Some photos
may also appear in future City publications, including About Town.
An entry form, complete rules and information on last year’s winning photos are available at
www.CityofEdina.com/PhotoContest. For more information, contact Communications Coordinator Marty Doll at
