What do you see when you go downtown Dundee? What makes you feel happy and proud to live here? What would you put on a Downtown Dundee postcard? And where do you see unrealized potential?
Part of the Main Street application includes presenting a series of photos (up to 20) that capture the heart and soul of our downtown. These photos should capture our assets as well as opportunities for improvement.
We want all of you to help us to tell this story in photos!! This photo contest is open to anyone who loves Dundee and runs now through October 20.
How to Enter
You can submit up to 5 photos for this contest. You will also include a summary or description of your submission that explains why your photos should be used to represent Downtown Dundee.
There are two different ways to submit your photos – email or submission form. See Rules & Guidelines below for the details.
- Use the online submission form (works on computer and mobile)

Prizes
