“Summit Through Your Eyes” Photo Contest Returns for Spring 2025

As part of the City of Summit’s celebration of New Jersey Local Government Week 2025, Summit residents are invited to enter the “Summit Through Your Eyes” Spring Photo Contest and submit images of our city that showcase its beauty, uniqueness, and community spirit.

The contest is open to residents of all ages. Submissions will be accepted beginning on Monday, April 7, through Friday, May 16, 2025. Interested parties can submit up to three photos, taken within the contest timeframe. Submissions should be sent to pressoffice@cityofsummit.org. Three winners will be chosen and announced on Friday, May 23, 2025.

"We are all lucky to call Summit home, and this photo contest is a creative way to highlight the spring season and show off what you love about our wonderful city," says Mayor Elizabeth Fagan. "I encourage residents to participate and I'm looking forward to seeing all your beautiful entries!"

After the contest ends, all eligible entries will be added to a photo album on the City of Summit Facebook page and the new "Summit Through Your Eyes" landing page on the municipal website.
