The Theme for this year’s photo contest is “Uniquely Pawtucket.”  The Deadline is August  6, 2021.

This annual contest provides an opportunity to bring awareness to daily life, historic locations
and the ever changing landscape of Pawtucket through the lens of a camera. The contest is open
to residents and non-residents alike, but the photo must be taken in Pawtucket. After a public call for photo contest themes was advertised in January, a record-number of 50 contest themes were received from the general public for consideration. “Uniquely Pawtucket” submitted by Sandy Benson of Pawtucket was selected for this year’s photo theme.

Contest Rules: All photo submissions should follow the contest theme. All photos must be taken
in the City of Pawtucket within the past year. Only one entry per contestant submitted by the

prints will be accepted. All photos must be of good quality and suitable for reproduction.

Submissions should be emailed to psz333@aol.com. Deadline for entry: Friday, August 6, 2021.
