Since 2019, the library has held an annual photography contest, open to all ages. This year, we’ll accept photo contest submissions from Monday, September 8 – Monday, September 29, 2025.
During the submission period, photographers submit entries to compete within various categories, including:
- Travel or Landscape
- People or Portrait
- Architecture – Buildings, Bridges, Structures
- Nature – Animals, Flowers, Outdoors, Weather, Etc.

Judges select winners within each category and a “Best in Show” winner. Patrons may vote for the “People’s Choice” winner from Friday, October 3 – Friday, October 17. Photo Contest winners receive cash prizes. Winners will be announced the week of October 20.
Each photo submission must be 8″ x 10″ and have an entry form affixed to the back. No other sizes will be accepted. Any photos not 8” x 10” will be returned to the entrant. Entrants are limited to (2) photo submissions, which must be in separate categories. If they exceed this limit or have duplicate entries in a category, all of their photos will be returned to them.
