Romeoville Kicks Off Monthly Photo Contest With 'Falling For Autumn' Theme

ROMEOVILLE, IL - Village of Romeoville officials shared their excitement Wednesday while introducing new photo contest, “Picture This, Romeoville!”

The initiative encourages residents to explore town and snap photos that align with monthly contest themes. One winner will be selected each month. The No. 1 photo will then be displayed on the village website, as well its Facebook and Twitter accounts. Winners will also receive a prize valued at $25 from participating local businesses such as Citgo, American Sale, Farm and Fleet, and others.

The contest officially kicks off Oct. 1 with the theme, “Sight Seeing/Falling for Autumn.” Upcoming themes include November's “Your Favorite Recreation Department Program or Class,” and December's will be “Your Favorite Holiday Scene.”

“We’re excited to see the creativity of our residents,” said Mayor John Noak. “There are plenty of activities, buildings, and nature areas in Romeoville fit for photographing.”

Photos must be submitted via email by the last day of the month. Each entry must have been taken in Romeoville and be relevant to the theme. Upon submission, images will become the property of the village.

Those emailing entries to marketing@romeoville.org should include their name, contact information and the location of the photo. Contestants are also required to follow Romeoville on Twitter (@RomeovilleToday) or like the village's Facebook page.

Winning photos will be announced via social media during the first week of each month.
