II. Show Off Your City

Municipalities around the Garden State are managing the return to some normalcy with public events back on the calendar. We’d like to record the many special municipal moments in New Jersey through the 2022 NJLM Annual Show Off Your City photo contest. You are invited to send us photos of how local residents and officials worked and played and thrived throughout the year. Whether it’s a scenic location, civic event, or a simple daily moment, please send in your best!

Entries will be posted on the League’s Facebook page, website and some will be featured in the April issue of NJ Municipalities magazine, and possibly other issues.

A winner will be selected and receives a free League publication of their choice.

We ask that photos be high resolution JPEG–at least 1 MB in size. Please provide photo credit if necessary. Unfortunately, stock photos and images that are too low resolution will not be considered. By submitting a photo, you are agreeing that you own the rights to the photo and that NJLM has permission to use the photo in NJ Municipalities, on NJLM’s social media and website, and in other printed materials. Please include your Facebook profile name and we will tag your photo on Facebook.
