The Theme for the 2009 contest is 'Love'

Why love? Because love is all around us. Love exists in everything and everything is love. With so much uncertainty in the world today it seems fitting to go back to basics and love. Love of nature, family, community, friendship, a rainbow,a smile, the list is endless.

Love is the language used in books, music, art, theatre, a passion that is universal.
Photography that captures, interprets and showcases moments of love and beauty can last a lifetime and elicit great reflection.

The poster this year is of a young woman taken in Evanston by Gabriel Openshaw. It was selected because of the eyes and how they capture the observer. It goes along with the concept the eyes are the mirrors to the soul and the eye of the camera lens. Next is the theme of love and finally the contest information. The posters can be seen throughout the city this summer.

If you have old photos you would like to enter they are also welcome our only criteria is the photos be taken in Evanston.
Have fun everyone and take lots of photos.
