FARGO — The Fargo Public Library is seeking submissions for its fifth annual Northern Focus photography project.

It is free to enter, and adults and teens ages 13 and older can participate, according to a release from the Fargo Public Library. All photos must be taken regionally in North Dakota or Minnesota and convey a sense of the people, places or happenings that make up the community and region.

All entries will be included in a photo exhibit at the downtown Main Library in the fall, the release said. Fifteen photos will be featured in a program booklet, and one will be selected as the cover art for the library’s 2024 “Northern Narratives” publication.

Submissions will be accepted online only through May 31, 2024, at

fargolibrary.wufoo.com/forms/northern-focus-2024.

All rules and guidelines for the project are available at

FargoND.gov/northern-focus.

For details about the Northern Focus photography project, contact Nicole H. at 701-476-5974 or the Main Library Information Desk at 701-241-1492.

Our newsroom occasionally reports stories under a byline of “staff.” Often, the “staff” byline is used when rewriting basic news briefs that originate from official sources, such as a city press release about a road closure, and which require little or no reporting. At times, this byline is used when a news story includes numerous authors or when the story is formed by aggregating previously reported news from various sources. If outside sources are used, it is noted within the story.
