(Lawrence, Kan.) – If you are downtown celebrating the Jayhawks’ Final Four appearance, take some great photos and share them with the city. The city launched a new photo submission service on the city website and we are looking for images of the celebration in Lawrence or just general images of Lawrence. By submitting photos through the site, www.lawrenceks.org/photo_submission, the city can utilize these images in city publications or on the city website. Images must be copyright-free. If the city uses the image, we will provide photo credit to the author.
“We’re excited to launch this new service on the site,” said Megan Gilliland. “This type of photo submission has been used by other public entities and we’re excited to offer it because Lawrence is such an eclectic and exciting place with so many great sites and activities. Hopefully, we’ll get some great images that capture the excitement of the Final Four.”
