A Day in the Life of Downtown Dutchtown
The increasingly active group known as the Downtown Dutchtown Business Association have come up with a very interesting contest — a 24 hour photo competition:
The contest is designed to promote a positive image of Downtown Dutchtown, generate civic pride and bring awareness of our neighborhood to the St. Louis community. Winners from every hour of the day, plus the top three overall winners, will be, published in a special book, recognized on DT2stl.org in a digital album and displayed in an exhibit after the event. There is no need to pre-register and the contest is open to all.
IMPORTANT NOTE:While you may submit photos in black & white or color, all photos will be published in black & white.
The “downtown” Dutchtown area is primarily concentrated at Meramec & Virginia but the contest rules allow for a broader area: Chippewa to Bates and Broadway to Grand. For all the details visit the Downtown Dutchtown website. The website includes a photo release form if you have people in your images.
I can’t wait to see some of the images as Dutchtown has some great architecture and people. I can imagine Dutchtown resident and fellow STL Syndicate blogger Tom Lampe will have some excellent entries.

You needn’t live in Dutchtown or the contest boundaries to participate. The contest is open to ALL, regardless of age, skill-level, or where you live. The more photos, the better. Hopefully, you will all also join us tomorrow night (the day of the contest) at the Iron Barley (5510 Virginia) for the DT2 After Hours.
