For the Love of Cities Showcase

As we get ready for the 2025 OCMA Annual Conference, we want to showcase the love we all have for our communities – our cities, counties, townships, and villages included. With Peter Kageyama as our keynote speaker, his ideas on lovable cities will be front and center throughout the conference. 

Help us highlight the passion and creativity that make our communities special by submitting photos that capture the unique ways your organization brings joy and creativity to public spaces. Whether it’s a mural that inspires, a pocket park that invites community gathering, a quirky sign that sparks a smile, or a playful public art installation, we want to see how your community fosters a sense of belonging and small moments of goodness. 

These images will be featured throughout the conference as a celebration of what makes our places, and the leaders like you behind them, so unique.

And while you’re looking through your photo files, please also consider submitting general community photos — of your parks, facilities, commercial corridors, events, etc. — to OCMA to be featured year-round on our website and other publications. 

(e.g. City of Bexley – Mural Festival).
