Calling all local photographers — we’re launching a Fall-tography Contest that will run from now until Fri., Oct. 28. 🍁

What does that mean? We’re looking for photos that show what it’s like to experience autumn in Indy. (Hint: Think leaves, themed festivals and foods, etc.). Submissions can be emailed to us + will be reviewed by City Editors Nicole and Anna.

The contest winner will be announced on Fri., Nov. 4 and our favorite photos will be featured on our Instagram. 📸
