Digital Photographers Urged To Participate In Fairmount Park Contest

PHILADELPHIA (KYW 1060) - The annual Fairmount Park photo contest is underway.

KYW's Karin Phillips reports this is the third year in a row that Philadelphia Parks and Recreation has solicited digital photographs from those who like to capture the beauty of Fairmount Park.

Mark Focht, executive director of Fairmount Park, says the public gets to vote on the best photos:

"So we take the highest vote getters. We sit down with the calendar. We design it by putting the proper photos with the proper months and also trying to get a good representation of all the assets of the department and all the sections of the city."

Thirteen photos will be chosen for the calendar and its cover.

Go to fairmountpark.org to submit photos and to vote on the ones you like. The deadline is October 10th.
