The Town of Mint Hill is pleased to announce the I Love Mint Hill Photo Competition.  Our goal is to provide a way to showcase favorite aspects of our town while celebrating the 50^th Anniversary of the Town becoming incorporated.

During the month of February, we want you to upload photos of why you love Mint Hill.  The Town is looking for high resolution digital photos that celebrate life in Mint Hill and the things that make our community special.  Images may include nature scenes, store fronts, parks, first responders, sunrises, sunsets, pets, events, facilities, sports, and people living, working and playing in town – whatever means Mint Hill to you.  Take time to consider why Mint Hill is special to you.  What elements do you love most?  Photos will be featured on the Town’s website and in social media accounts. 

RULES:

1. The competition is open to anyone who lives or works in Mint Hill.
2. Entries must be suitable for display on a public website.
3. All entered photographs may be used as content; with a photo credit, on the Town of Mint Hill or Mint Hill Events, Inc. websites or in other non-commercial ways to promote Mint Hill.
4. Photos should be high resolution and not contain watermark. As stated above, we use submitted photographs with a photo credit in publications and on our website. The higher the resolution, the more likely your photograph will be used.
