6 GREATER Locations for the 2018 Photo Contest

The 2018 St. Cloud GREATER Photo/Video Contest is on! Submit photos and/or videos that show us what you think makes St. Cloud a great place to live, work, and play.

There are several categories for types of subjects and submissions, so feel free to let your camera and our city be your guide. You may win $250 in cash!

If you’re looking for places to shoot your photos, here are some of the top spots in St. Cloud to find inspiration, picturesque scenery, and moving moments of St. Cloud residents at work and play.

Veterans Plaza

The Minnesota Veterans’ Plaza is a touching tribute, dedicated to those who have served to protect the United States of America.

Munsinger Clemens Gardens

From the blooming flowers to the winding paths and brick walkways, these gardens are full of picturesque views of nature. Get up close and zoom in on plant and animal life or zoom out to capture the views in the twilight or morning light; it’s a great place for scenic shots.

Summertime by George

Wednesdays through the summer you’ll find St. Cloud residents and families at Summertime by George taking advantage of summer fun—with kids’ activities, arts & crafts, the beer garden, or middle town market food and retail vendors.

Restaurants in St. Cloud

When it comes to dining, the St. Cloud area is full of yummy platefuls and quaint locations. Try any of these local restaurants, or more that aren’t on this list, and capture the offerings that one can find in St. Cloud.

Municipal Athletic Complex (MAC)

The Municipal Athletic Complex is home to two ice sheets, two baseball stadiums, and an executive par-3 public golf course. The arenas are busy nearly year-round, and host several local sports and school teams—a great opportunity to show teamwork, school spirit, and athletic enthusiasm!

St. Cloud Downtown

For the Business or Community Life categories of the photo contest, try looking downtown! With an ever-changing downtown area and plenty of people on the move, capture the spirit of our city here.
