About the Contest
How It Works
As part of its annual City Birthday Party, the Milwaukee Press Club is hosting the Milwaukee Moments photo contest, where the community can submit personal snapshots or home photos celebrating classic moments in our City's great history.

- Pull out the shoe box or dust off the photo album and spend a few moments reviewing the fun times and memorable moments you've had with your family and friends in the City of Milwaukee.
- Scan and upload a photo that you feel captures a memorable moment in Milwaukee’s history. It could be your kids enjoying the Great Circus Parade or a photo of you cheering on the 1977 Warriors from your college days. It could be a photo of just the event itself, such as Liberace performing at the Pabst. Also give us a short description of the photo, including date taken and the memory that corresponds with it.
- Invite your friends and family to view your photo at
www.milwaukeemoments.com and vote for your snapshot.
- The top ten photos will be published on Press Club's website, and in its Once a Year Magazine, as well as in other newspapers, and will be displayed at the annual City Birthday Party.
