The Roebling Bridge is one of the most photographed landmarks in our region. This summer, the best work will be recognized, and six talented people will win a coveted prize: a trip to the top of the bridge’s south tower.
Youth (under the age of 18) are now eligible to compete and earn gift cards.
Presented by the Covington-Cincinnati Suspension Bridge Committee (CCSBC), the photography contest runs from July 1-July 31. There are separate classifications for amateurs, professionals, and youth, giving everyone a chance to win.
David Wetzel, Membership Director of the CCSBC, said, “This contest celebrates the art, architecture, history and engineering of the John A. Roebling Suspension Bridge, a National Historic Landmark and a National Civil Engineering Landmark.”
This year, the contest has been expanded, as CCSBC Vice President, Allison Rotella, explains, “We are not only accepting photographs, but now we have added a category called “OPEN” which will allow for creations such as short videos and AI-generated art of the Roebling Suspension Bridge.”
Previous winners have loved photographing from the top of the tower. The youth winners won’t have that experience but can win $100 gift cards and don’t have to pay to enter their work.
Sherry Roth, President, explained, “This is a way we can encourage the next generation of artists.”
Entries will be accepted from July 1-31. Public voting will take place from August 20-27. Winners will be announced after the voting is complete.
