Light Up Dayton!
Hey, shutterbugs and downtownistas… Just a friendly reminder from the good folks at the Downtown Dayton Partnership that this Friday night is “Light Up Dayton.”
Here’s their news release. See you downtown!
Light Up Dayton Photo Contest: Grab Your Nighttime Shot this Friday Downtown buildings will leave lights on for photo shoot on May 1
DAYTON, April 27, 2009 — The entire community is invited to participate in Light Up Dayton, a photo contest to find some new and distinctive angles of downtown. And this Friday, May 1, photographers will have a chance to capture a brightly lit shot of downtown at night.
Downtown buildings and businesses will be leaving their lights on Friday, May 1, until 11 p.m. so the skyline will glow especially brightly.
All area photographers, amateur and professional alike, are invited to participate. The contest comes as a result of some major changes to downtown’s skyline, including the addition of the CareSource headquarters, a new logo atop KeyBank Tower, and other new points of light.
Photographers can enter the following categories: City of Lights (general skyline); Rivers Run Through It (including the river); Dayton Originals (unique or unusual perspectives); and Street Life (people and places).
A special exhibit of competing photos will be held during the Urban Nights event on Friday, May 15, in the lobby of the Kettering Tower (Second and Jefferson Streets), during which the public may vote for a “People’s Choice” winner. Photographers are also encouraged to upload digital photos to www.DaytonDailyNews.com.
Prizes include $250 awarded to Best in Show winners in amateur and professional divisions. The People’s Choice winner will receive a special prize basket. Winning photos in all categories will be published in the Dayton Daily News.
The Light Up Dayton contest is presented by the Downtown Dayton Partnership, the Dayton Daily News and the City of Dayton. For contest guidelines, go to www.downtowndayton.org, www.daytondailynews.com or www.cityofdayton.org or call the Downtown Dayton Partnership at (937) 224-1518.
