Diamond Bar’s “Through My Lens” Photo Contest

Staff Reports

DIAMOND BAR– Think you have what it takes to be named the City of Diamond Bar’s “Through My Lens” prized photographer? Now is the time to choose a photo from your existing collection or take a brand new one before the Nov. 16 deadline.

The five categories that make up this year’s contest are people, pets, places, nature and digitally-altered.

“Through My Lens” was started in 2008 as a means to celebrate the various facets of Diamond Bar living and the photographic talents of community members; it is co-sponsored by the Diamond Bar Community Foundation (DBCF).

The contest is open to photographers of all ages and levels of experience, with youth and adult entries judged separately. To qualify to enter, the contestant must reside in Diamond Bar and the photo subject must also be within city limits.

Photographs by the winners and finalists will be featured on the City’s website, in the Windmill magazine published by the DBCF, and a print of the Grand Prize image will be showcased inside the City Hall building on wall space dedicated to the photo contest. Also, winners will be recognized during an upcoming City Council meeting and receive a cash prize, courtesy of the DBCF.
