Syracuse is a beautiful city with full winters, green springs, exciting summers, and foliage-filled falls. The city's skyline and architecture are tied to world-class builders and urban designers. It's important to tell the story of Syracuse in written and visual content. We are looking to the talented photography community of our city to help us tell that story—especially on syr.gov.
Will you help us tell a more beautiful visual story about our city?
