CORONADO, CA The City of Coronado is in the process of updating its website. To build local, grassroots awareness and support for the project, the City has created an opportunity for residents to participate by sponsoring a photo contest.
The contest is open to individuals who live, work or are students in the City with the theme of My Coronado. Ideas include arts, art events, beaches, business district, hardscape vistas, neighborhoods, ocean, bay, San Diego-Coronado Bridge, parks, public events, recreation, residents, transit, trails, and action shots. All photographs entered may be used as content on the Citys website or in other ways to promote Coronado.
Participants must sign a waiver that makes the entries the Citys property. Winning entries will receive prizes, recognition at a City Council meeting, and the satisfaction of having their photos featured on the Citys new website, once developed. Winners will be awarded City of Coronado Golf, Recreation or Tennis Center gift certificates in the amounts of $150 for first place, $100 for second place and $50 for third place.
Photographs will be judged by an independent jury of community members on overall quality, creativity and how well the photographs portray the unique nature of Coronado. City employees are eligible to participate only if photos they submit are or were taken on their own time with their own equipment. Participants are limited to five (5) individual photo submissions in total.
The deadline for entries is Friday, October 9, with winners announced in mid-October. To review details and complete rules for the contest, click here.
