Freeze Frame Bogota
Deadline: February
Help us journey through Bogota’s 125 years by participating in an artistic celebration of its anniversary! We’re looking for photos and stories throughout the decades that represent a freeze frame in our continuously evolving story.

Those wishing to participate should submit a photo along with a short essay on their memories of Bogota at that time. Contributors selected to participate will be invited to attend a short workshop in April to prepare their photos and stories for exhibit in the library this May.

To submit, send your photo and essay to bogotanj125@gmail.com by February 28.


Frequently Asked Questions

What is the deadline to submit?
The deadline to submit is Thursday, February 28 at 11:59 p.m.

Can I just submit a photo?
In order for the community to appreciate the depth of Freeze Frame Bogota, a short recollection is required. Don’t worry if you’re a bad writer! Our workshop in April will help get your words in tiptop shape.

What if I only have recent photos?
Any photos from 2018 and earlier are eligible. If you’re a newer resident, your essay can reflect why you chose to move to Bogota and how your photo represents the town.

If my photo is chosen, do I have to attend the workshop?
Attendance at the workshop is not required, but highly recommended.

How long should my essay be?
150-750 words is ideal, and the writing workshop can help you get it where it needs to be.
