We invite you to explore the site and give us your feedback.
Each year the City of Sunny Isles Beach holds a photo contest, asking residents, visitors, and locals to send us their best Sunny Isles Beach photographs.
Now is the time to submit those great shots of the City’s beautiful parks, sparkling blue ocean, and stunning architecture! The photo must be of a scene taken in Sunny Isles Beach, Florida (between 156 Street and 195 Street and the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway).
Winning photographs are featured in our city’s annual desktop calendar, along with the name of the photographer. Calendars are free and can be picked up at the end of the year at the Sunny Isles Beach Government Center, Pelican Community Park, and Gateway Center.
Even if your photo is not chosen for the calendar, there are many other places it may show up! Photos may appear in our Live & Play Magazine, Sunny Isles Beach Islander Monthly Newsletter, on our website, or on our social media pages. All entries are considered and welcomed.
*Photos should be at least 300 dpi to be considered for the calendar. Horizontal photos are preferred. For best resolution, a digital camera should be used.
Submissions are due by September 1, each year.
Submit Photos
Photo entries should be submitted online if possible, but can also be submitted via storage devices such as flash drives, which may then be dropped off or mailed to the Sunny Isles Beach Government Center (Attention: Media Division), 18070 Collins Avenue, Sunny Isles Beach, FL 33160. Be sure to include your contact information so that it may be retrieved later.
Direct any questions to 305.792.1920 or photocontest@sibfl.net. Now grab your camera and take some prize-winning shots!
Winning photos are selected by our calendar design committee and the winning photographers are recognized each year at a Regular City Commission Meeting.
You can see the winning photographs featured in our annual Sunny Isles Beach desktop calendar. Calendars are free and available to pick up at the front desk of the Sunny Isles Beach Government Center, Pelican Community Park and Gateway Center. If you submitted a photo to our contest and were not selected to be featured in the calendar, you may still see your work featured on City of Sunny Isles Beach social media, digital publications, or right here on our website.
