Township library holds annual photo contest

Bloomfield Township residents are invited to enter the eighth annual Bloomfield Township Public Library photo contest, which runs until March 17.

The theme of this year's contest is “Picture Perfect Patterns.”

Residents of all ages are invited to explore the captivating world of patterns in everyday lives. Patterns surround us, from the intricate designs in nature to the geometric shapes of cityscapes and the repetitive forms in textiles and architecture. Residents are encouraged to unleash their creativity whether through black and white compositions, vivid color contrasts, or abstract interpretations.

“This contest provides an opportunity to showcase local artistic talent, but also fosters a sense of community and shared appreciation for interesting perspectives and the beauty that surrounds us. We encourage Bloomfield Township residents of all ages to participate and celebrate their unique vision as part of this beloved event,” said Katherine Bryant, assistant director of the library.

Photo submissions can be color or black and white, and in either a digital or print format. To be eligible, photos must be taken by Bloomfield Township residents between March 27, 2023, and March 17, 2024. Entries will be grouped into three age categories: Children ages 12 and under; teens, 13 to 18, and adults.

The deadline to enter photos is March 17, 2024 at midnight. Winners will be announced and honored at the photo contest reception on saturday, April 13.
