Dear resident, The Office of City Councilman Patrick Dowd is challenging you to submit to us your favorite, most interesting photographs of life in Council District 7. This area includes Highland Park, Lawrenceville, Morningside, Polish Hill, Stanton Heights, and sections of Bloomfield, Garfield, North Oakland and the Upper Hill. We are seeking photos in color or black and white that: * Depict a broad representation of District 7 and your neighborhood * Are tasteful and attractive * Have no up-close, recognizable faces * Showcase the vibrant seasons that Pittsburgh experiences * Highlight things that you are proud of in your neighborhood Initially, ten "winning" photos will be placed, with photographer acknowledgement, on the District 7 website. Additional photos will be archived in a Facebook photo album for future use. The first photos will start to appear on our new website and current Facebook page (Pittsburgh.Council.District7) by May 1, 2011. Don't delay in sending your best photos to districtseven@gmail.com. You will receive an acknowledgement from the office including information about where you can find your photo(s) published. If you wish to keep your submission anonymous and/or have a title for your photograph, please indicate such when submitting your photo. Also, please feel free to share this with your listservs and neighbors who may not be connected to us via email. Thank you for your time and regard. We look forward to seeing life in District 7 through your lens.
