Mayor Menino Honors Winners of City’s Photo Contest Mayor Thomas. M. Menino today celebrated the winning photographers of the CityofBoston.gov Photo Contest at a reception at Boston’s City Hall. Winning photographs include 20 city residents, six college students and four city employees. “I wanted to have more residents involved in the shaping and design of our new website. And this photo contest was a great way to show off the artistic talent we have throughout the city,” Mayor Menino said. “I am particularly proud of the significant turnout.” The Web Team created a photo contest to generate interest in the city’s new website at CityofBoston.gov. The call to residents and visitors, professional and amateur photographers of all ages asked for photos that conveyed the unique beauty and character of Boston. Photographs were judged by a panel comprised of representatives from various city departments including Management Information Services, the Mayor’s Office of Arts, Tourism and Special Events, the Mayor’s Office of Neighborhood Services, Mayor’s Public Information Office, and the Mayor’s Youthline. During November and December 2006, the city received more than 400 photographs from people of all ages, from all over the city and of all skill levels. Thirty-five photographs by 25 photographers were chosen by city staff. The photos can be seen at www.cityofboston.gov. The winners of the contest are: Tosin Arasi, Washington D.C.
