The need several iconic photographs of the Tampa Bay area for display in their store. This is a good excuse to go create some photographs on the 4th. You may provide one or several images to the cause. Every photograph that we use will have a photographers credit attached and you will receive an 11 X 14 print. Things like the Skyway, St.. Pete Pier, University of Tampa, Tarpon Sponge Docks, Old Pasco Courthouse etc. I think you get the drift. OK a few bird, fish and even sunset photos are OK, just remember we can not use images in which people are identifiable.
Please submit them in the next two weeks either by bringing them in on a CD, jump drive or memory card. In the case of the jump drive and memory card please allow us a few minutes to copy the files so you can take your media home. Additionally you may upload the photographs just like our photo contest only under the comments section please state: "Store decor do not print"
Thank you in advance.
