Second Annual Photo Contest Calls for Images of South Bay Landmarks

The South Bay Cities Council of Governments (SBCCOG) is once again in search of the community’s best photographs that highlight “what is unique and beautiful about the South Bay and where you find the beauty in your community.”

Last year, the SBCCOG received so many stunning coastal shots making it clear why the community loves the South Bay. This year, there is a new twist. The contest is inviting your most creative and artistic shots of your city’s local landmarks. We want to know, what you and others see that instantly reveals it’s your city? Is it a statue, an historic building, a refinery, or a water tower? There is no wrong answer, it’s what speaks to you.

The contest kicks off January 1, 2023. Entries must be received by 5 p.m., February 10, 2023. Ten finalists will be selected by the SBCCOG staff and board of directors. The winner will be selected by a vote of attendees at the 23rd General Assembly. The winning image will be announced and displayed at the event on March 23, 2023.
