Budget Book Photo Contest
Share your best photos of Lakewood!
Lakewood is full of beautiful places, and we are looking for the best shots you, the Lakewood community, can produce to be part of our annual budget book this year. Share your unique perspective and help tell the story of our community through one of the city's most important documents. Whether you're an experienced photographer or simply love capturing special moments, we invite you to submit your best photos and showcase what makes Lakewood the city you love.
The annual budget, compiled by the city's Finance Department, is published each year and includes the most recent city budget as approved by City Council. See last year's online.
One special photo will be selected to grace the cover, while seven others will introduce each of the budget's seven sections.
Submit one or multiple photos via the tool below! Photos should not have the faces of people in them, and please note where in Lakewood each photo was taken and any other relevant information you'd like to share.

Kendrick Lake Park at Lakewood never disappoints me when it comes to Sunrise or Sunset. Have seen some amazing sunsets over the years since residing in Lakewood from 1983. We are indeed blessed to have an abundance of beautiful parks and lakes along with resident birds living in Lakewood! I have been posting in Facebook and Nextdoor for several years.

I rode the backside of Green Mountain just before sunset. The deer in the second photo were a few feet off the trail.

I have recently moved back to Colorado, and am happily settling into Belmar neighborhood.
It affords opportunities to walk around Belmar lake, explore the Heritage sites, walk to movies, dining, banking, and shopping. Can practically walk to church!
Lots of beauty, and lots of terrific people.
