This contest is for the crème de la crème images of Cartersville. Whether it's a beauty shot of downtown, a train taking over the tracks, a captivating sunset, or kids having the time of their lives, this is your moment to show the best that the city has to offer.

A total of 15 images will be chosen to grace the calendar. Bring your photo taking A-game and see if your picture makes it into the hands of more than 10,000 citizens. Keep in mind, these images need to be as high resolution as possible in order to keep the details sharp.

• Image must be taken in Cartersville
• Include your name, location of image, short description, and year image was taken
• Use a horizontal/landscape format image or wide shot.

• Copyright Acknowledgement: By submitting, you acknowledge that you are the owner or copyright holder of the photograph and grant permission for the City of Cartersville to use it.
