3rd Place - $50 Meijer gift card
Honorable Mention Photos (8 total) - $25 Meijer gift cards
Downtown Category* - $100 downtown East Lansing parking voucher.
East Lansing Farmers Market Category ** - $20 ELFM gift card, market bag and t-shirt.

In addition to the prizes, the winning photos will also be featured in City of East Lansing marketing materials online and in print.

“We encourage community members of all ages and abilities to show off their photography skills, while also showing us what they love about the East Lansing community,” said Communications Specialist Quinn Alexander. “We are really looking forward to seeing what participants capture during this year’s photo contest.”

The contest is sponsored by Meijer, the East Lansing Downtown Management Board and the East Lansing Farmers Market.
