From the City of Miami Beach – Beautiful images of Miami Beach are no stranger to publications and video screens worldwide. On September 1, 2012, the public is invited to showcase their favorite Miami Beach photos by participating in the Like2Love Miami Beach Photo Contest. The contest kicks off Miami Beach’s new civic pride campaign, Like2Love Miami Beach, which aims at highlighting everything that makes the island-city a great place to live, work and play. From the beach at Ocean Drive to the stores on Lincoln Road Mall, all photos are welcome.
“We are a dynamic community that offers a little bit of everything from our beautiful beaches to culture, entertainment, shopping, dining and a great night life so we’d like to remind ourselves and the public of what makes our city such a great place to be at,” said Acting Assistant City Manager Max Sklar.
Contestants can enter Miami Beach photos into any or all of three categories: outdoor public activities, cultural arts/festivals/events, and landscapes/places/architecture.
