I spotted the above mural in uptown Charlotte over the weekend, and it got me wondering about the street art or other interesting sights that other bloggers might frequently pass by. June 29th is National Camera Day, and since the date lands on a Friday, I’m going to do something different for my weekly photography post to celebrate.

I’m hosting a street photography contest, and will post all of the entry’s on the 29th (with a link to your blog or social media of your choice). The winner will be the featured photo for the post and posted on Everyday Strange’s Instagram. The only rule is that your photo has to be taken on a street.  No re-blogging or sharing of this post is required to enter.

You can create a post on your own blog and link to this post to enter, leave your link in the comments below, or just email your submission through Everyday Strange’s contact page. Make sure you include a link to your blog and the name you post under!

The deadline to enter is 5pm EST on Wednesday, June 27th. I can’t wait to see your perspectives!
