IDOT Launches Transportation Photo Contest

May 23, 2024 | 3:16 PM

May 23, 2024 – The Illinois Department of Transportation  is inviting the public to participate in a new contest to showcase how transportation connects communities and keeps the state moving.

“Everywhere you look, you see proof that Illinois is the transportation hub of North America. We’re inviting the public to show why transportation is important to you,” said Illinois Transportation Secretary Omer Osman. “Send us your best photo. It could be the road you travel to and from work, a bike trail you enjoy, an airport, a transit stop, a bridge, or a unique stretch close to home – whatever inspires you or helps you get where you need to go.”
Through June 7, IDOT will accept original photos showcasing transportation at work in Illinois. Ideas include biking, walking, rolling, rails-to-trails projects, highways, bridges, work zones, transit, airports, and waterways; anything related to mobility in Illinois.
All entered photos will be reviewed by IDOT staff and narrowed down to three finalists. Entries will be judged on creativity, aesthetics, and the impact of the photo subject on the individual or their community. IDOT’s three finalists will then be displayed online and promoted on social media. The photo receiving the most votes will be the winner and displayed on IDOT’s Facebook banner for an entire month. Winners will also receive a certificate of recognition and a mention in a statewide announcement on IDOT’s website.
Amateur photography is encouraged. Cell phone pictures are acceptable. Photos must be related to the contest theme of transportation in Illinois and submitted digitally to DOT.PhotoContest@Illinois.gov. For complete rules, visit idot.illinois.gov.
