Grab Your Camera: City Photography Contest Opens for Submissions

Palm Beach Gardens, FL · July 24, 2026

Humidity is clinging to the pavement early today, but a clear weekend schedule makes the midday heat much easier to manage.


📰 The Lead

If you have ever captured a stunning sunset over the local wetlands or a candid moment at the neighborhood greenmarket, city hall wants to see it. Submissions are officially open for the annual Resident Photography Contest, inviting amateur and phone photographers alike to document life across town. Organizers are accepting entries across several categories, ranging from cellphone shots taken without professional gear to nature landscapes and unposed community moments.

Beyond standard community bragging rights, finalists will have their work showcased during a special October reception at City Hall. The deadline to submit runs through mid-September, giving residents the entire late-summer season to scout the best angles and lighting. It is a welcome excuse to slow down, look closer at neighborhood routines, and frame the city through a local lens before the fall rush sets in.
