Photos submitted to the exhibition's Flickr group will be featured in a slideshow at the opening reception for the exhibition on July 30, 2009! Simply join the group to upload as many photos as wish or to just enjoy images contributed by other visitors.

If you are not already a Flickr member, signing up is quick, easy, and free. For more information, visit I Love Jersey City: Everybody Counts on Flickr.

In Spring 2008, Jersey City Museum organized I Love Jersey City, an open call for the public's photographs of their beloved city. This became a summer exhibition in the museum's upper atrium featuring these diverse and colorful images. Displaying over 150 photographs by professionals and amateurs alike, the project was a success and even inspired a specially-made Jersey City Museum I Love Jersey City t-shirt which was featured in Time Out New York.

In honor of the 2010 National Census, this year Jersey City Museum invites the public to send its 4 x 6 inch images of the people they know who live, work, or play in Jersey City for the exhibition, I Love Jersey City: Everybody Counts. These photographs will be compiled and installed in the museum in order to create a large-scale collage featuring diverse images of the people of Jersey City.

To submit photographs for the exhibition, please send printed 4 x 6 inch images (color or black and white) in horizontal or vertical format. Provide all contact information with your submission including name, address, phone and email address. SUBMISSIONS WILL NOT BE RETURNED, please do not turn in any original copies.
