Photographers in Mankato, grab your lenses and ready your best shots; the city has put out the call for contributions to the "Angles of Mankato" Photo Contest. Whether you're a hobbyist with a point-and-shoot or a professional wielding a DSLR, your unique perspective of Mankato's nuanced vistas could earn you a spot in official city publications—yes, including the glossy pages of the 2025 print calendar.

Hopefuls have until August 30 to submit their work, a window that's as open as it is closing rapidly. It's not every day one's artwork bags a feature by the city, but Mankato is looking to do just that, offering local photographers a chance to shine in city communication pieces; a bright opportunity for both exposure and community pride. Details and submissions guidelines can be found on their Facebook page, notes the City of Mankato.
