The event will showcase outdoor photo galleries in six Milwaukee neighborhoods – Clarke Square, Harambee, Layton Boulevard, Lindsay Heights, Metcalfe Park and Muskego Way.

Photo submissions must represent one of the six participating neighborhoods. They can be new or existing images covering a variety of subjects, including but not limited to buildings/architecture, people, objects, historical landmarks, elder statesmen, or an event/moment.

Eight photos will be selected to represent each neighborhood by community leaders and MIAD faculty. Winners will receive a $300 stipend, along with 50% off rental equipment from MKE Production rentals.
