2012 Downtown Photo Challenge

The fifth annual Downtown Photo Challenge is underway and now is the time for you to get out and capture downtown Cleveland in the summertime.

The Downtown Photo Challenge is open to all amateur photographers 18 years of age and older from all over the region who would like to show their beautiful and unique depictions of Cleveland as seen through the lens of the camera.

The deadline to submit your photos is Friday, August 17th by 11:59p.m.
