Photography Project

Capture Your Community in Pictures!
Photography Project - Mahomet Public Library

Teen Tech Week is March 8-14! To celebrate, teens in grades 6-12 or equivalent are invited to submit photographs of the buildings and locations in Mahomet. Photos will be displayed in the library, on the website, and compiled into a CD that will become part of the library’s historical collection. Photos can be prints, saved to a CD, or e-mailed submissions. To enter a photo, visit www.mahometpubliclibrary.org or stop by the library for complete guidelines and entry forms. Entries must be turned into the Mahomet Public Library between Sunday, March 8 and Thursday, March 12, 2009.

All photographers will be entered in a random drawing for one of three $10 Dominoes gift cards.

Start capturing the pictures that define Mahomet today, so they can be a record of our community in the future!
