BIXBY IN DIGITAL ART
We want to see what you can do with Photoshop and similar software. Go beyond touching up the photo. Be creative with your photos, but still retain the essence of Bixby Knolls. Source images must be included with digital art submission.
FIND THE SUBTLETIES
Long Beach has so many different and vibrant neighborhoods that are unique in their own way. We are seeking to definitively capture through digital images Bixby Knolls and surrounding neighborhoods with the subtleties that make the area so special. There is so much to discover in Bixby Knolls and this is your chance to explore your creative, humorous, artsy, or serious side to showcase our community. The contest aims to capture special moments during 24 hours of this small "box" within our city limits. We expect that these images will speak volumes about how truly special the neighborhoods of Long Beach are.
