Contribute your photos / artwork to the final plan
We want your photos or original artwork!
The Girdwood Comprehensive Plan will guide development and related projects throughout Girdwood for the next 10-20 years.
It is the key planning document that reflects the vision Girdwood has for its community and environment.
What better way to illustrate Girdwood's sense of itself than to use images from community members themselves?
Please consider sending us images of Girdwood, its infrastructure, economy, recreation, and/or community to infuse the plan with what Girdwood is and means to you.

See below for additional details and guidelines.
Image guidelines
Photographs and images of artwork should be provided at a minimum resolution of 1200 x 800, but higher resolution is encouraged.
Images must be submitted digitally and provided with a description including location when applicable.
Images may be in .jpeg or .png format, with a maximum file size of 20MB.
Photographs should be original and may be lighted edited (e.g. cropping, adjusting balance, fixing small blemishes are OK).
AI generated content is not acceptable.
Assigning limited rights
Each photographer or artist will retain all rights to any images submitted – including ownership if applicable – other than those rights licensed in the next sentence:
By contributing an image, you hereby grant to Imagine! Girdwood and its contractors a nonexclusive, worldwide, irrevocable, royalty-free license to reproduce, edit, distribute, and publicly display the images submitted to Imagine! Girdwood for the purpose inclusion as illustrations in the Girdwood Comprehensive Plan or use in related promotional or explanatory materials.
Model release requirements
Is the main focus of the photograph a recognizable person or group of 2-4 people?
Are they face-forward to the camera?
Are they in a non-public space?
If the answer to those three questions are all YES, then you will need to complete a Model Release form for each person and have them sign the form (or their parent/guardian sign if they are under 18).
You can upload a scan of the signed Model Release form or if you are using a mobile phone, take a photo of the signed form.
How images will be selected for the plan
The project team will select appropriate images for illustration throughout the plan.
A judging panel consisting of two Imagine! Girdwood officers and the Principal of Huddle AK will select one image for the plan cover and images for each section title page.
