As summer approaches, two Summerlin® traditions return to the master planned community: the 2022 Summerlin Photo Competition; and the 2022 Best of Summerlin online vote to name all the places, people and things people love about this award-winning community that spans the valley’s western rim.
2022 Summerlin Photo Competition
The 2022 Summerlin Photography Competition is open to both professional and amateur photographers ages 18 and older with photo submissions accepted from June 1 – August 31 at bit.ly/2022PhotographyCompetition. Summerlin residency is not a requirement to participate.
“Last year, we received hundreds of submissions, all reflective of Summerlin’s manmade and natural beauty—evident in everything from our streetscapes, architecture and, of course, the gorgeous Red Rock Canyon that frames our community,” said Danielle Bisterfeldt, SVP, Marketing and Consumer experience for Summerlin. “We love to see all the captivating aspects of Summerlin as shown through the lenses of photographers far and wide.”
Winners will be announced and featured at the 2022 Summerlin Festival of Arts, October 8-9, at Downtown Summerlin®. Winning photos may also be displayed at Downtown Summerlin throughout the year and will be used on Summerlin social media channels with credit given to photographers. A complete set of rules for the 2022 Summerlin Photography Competition can be found Privacy Policy – Summerlin.
Photographers are invited to submit photos in three categories: architecture, man-made landscapes and natural landscapes within and immediately adjacent to the community. To qualify, architectural and man-made landscapes as subject matter must be located within Summerlin; natural landscapes must be located in Summerlin or within the adjacent Red Rock Canyon National Conversation Area/Spring Mountain area.

Photos will be juried by a team of professional photographers. Winners will receive a Downtown Summerlin gift card valued at $250 and a professionally-framed, gallery-quality print of their winning photo(s) that will be displayed at the Festival of Arts.
Best of Summerlin 2022
Via an online vote, community residents and the general public can nominate and vote for their favorite places, doctors, restaurants, events and more from 20 different categories. Nominations are accepted from June 1-24 at bit.ly/2022BestOfSummerlinNominations, and voting runs from July 1-22, with winners announced in early August.
“This competition allows us to showcase and celebrate the venues, facilities, restaurants and other popular places and amenities that make Summerlin such a great place to live,” said Bisterfeldt. “The Best of Summerlin competition is especially meaningful because it’s the voting public who decides the winners. And winners are proud to showcase their Best of Summerlin designation all year long.”
While Southern Nevada residents can nominate any local businesses of choice, only businesses located in Summerlin can be finalists. Look for the Best of Summerlin logo proudly displayed at your favorite community spot!
