Garden Grove : City to Sponsor One-Day Photography Contest

The city, in conjunction with the U.S. Conference of Mayors, is sponsoring a “Day in the Life” photography contest Wednesday. Cash prizes and gift certificates will be awarded to the winning entries, which will then be submitted in a national contest and compete for publication in a Times Mirror photo essay book, “A Day in the Life of American Cities.” Photographs must be taken in Garden Grove on Wednesday only. The object is to show the diversity of life in the city throughout the day, according to city spokeswoman Delores Brooks Irwin. Each of the 10 winning photographs will be entered in the national contest in competition with winning photographs from more than 250 American cities. At least one entry for each city will appear in the photo essay book, Irwin said.
