The Lead
The city has officially opened submissions for its 2026 Resident Photography Contest, inviting local photographers of all skill levels to capture scenes from around the municipality. Designed to highlight community life ahead of Florida City Government Week, this year’s contest features five distinct categories. Entrants can submit everything from cellphone-only snapshots in the "iGardens" division to candid street photography and landscape shots highlighting local parks.
Submissions are open to city residents and students attending local schools, provided the images were taken within municipal limits over the past year. Photos can be submitted through September 18, with finalist entries earning a spot in a special exhibition at City Hall on October 19.

Spotlight & Story
