Introducing our 2024 Picture of the Year contest

We’re calling on our readers throughout the year to share their photographic perspective of Nashville. A winner will be selected in early 2025.

“Sunset on Lower Broadway” — one of the finalists from our 2023 contest.

At the end of 2023, we hosted a photo contest, and our readers made us smile with their creativity. You submitted dozens of shots, including breathtaking views of Nashville’s skyline, an adorable canine at Centennial Park, and Pekka Rinne’s statue outside Bridgestone Arena.

That’s why we’re getting a jump on our 2024 Picture of the Year contest. Help us sign off on summer in style by submitting your favorite photos snapped since the beginning of the year.

Finalists will be selected by our team at the beginning of 2025, followed by a public vote via the newsletter and social media to pick a winner. Feel free to revisit this page throughout the year to enter more photos. We’ll also circle back around with occasional reminders.

The rules and details

Photo submissions must include a visual element that directly connects to Nashville or the surrounding area — those without a local element will not be considered. Additionally, images that include nudity or offensive language or visuals will not be accepted.

Try a different angle

Visual inspiration can arrive anywhere, but you can also strategically position yourself for an amazing snap. Consider attending a major community event, checking out one of these awesome parks, taking your fur-ever friend on a hike, or even going on an adventurous tour in town.
