LAMORINDA WEEKLY | 'Day in the Life' photo contest coincides with 50th anniversary party


2017 photo contest winner "Boots on the Square" by Stu Selland

By now most residents are aware of a major party happening in and around the Lafayette Library and Learning Center July 29 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Lafayette's incorporation. But as residents head out to party they should remember to grab their cameras, since that is also the date for this year's "Day in the Life" photo contest.

The rules call for a digital image taken somewhere within Lafayette to address the question "What does Lafayette look like to you on the special occasion of the 50th anniversary of incorporation?"

The contest, now in its third year, is open to those who live, work or have students attending schools in Lafayette. As in prior years, the contest is sponsored and judged by the public art committee. Submissions will be on display in the library gallery next January. Only photos taken on July 29 may be submitted and they must be received by Aug. 17.

And yes, smartphone photos are welcome too.
