The DTW Photo Challenge Is ON!

 Capture Downtown Woodstock Like You’ve Never Seen It Before
Think you’ve got an eye for the details that make Woodstock feel like Woodstock? We want to see it through your lens.

This week, we’re launching a collective photo challenge that turns our city into a creative scavenger hunt. If you’ve ever snapped a moody street shot, a perfect latte foam swirl, or your best friend laughing on a sidewalk — this is for you.

Your Photo Checklist:

Take a picture of one (or all!) of the following in Downtown Woodstock for a chance to be featured on The Woodstock Wire + shouted out on Instagram:

 ✅ A brick wall with texture or graffiti
✅ Your favorite spot to sit and chill (bonus if you include a friend)
✅ A moment of light — a sunset, a café glow, string lights, etc.
✅ A pet (yours or a stranger’s) somewhere in DTW
✅ A cool or aesthetic store window
✅ Someone performing live music — even a street musician
✅ A hidden gem (whatever that means to you)
✅ A sign or mural that makes you feel something
✅ Your shoes on a downtown sidewalk (trust us, it’s a vibe)
✅ A picture that feels like a memory

HOW TO SUBMIT:

• Tag @thewoodstockwire on Instagram and use #WireLens
  
  

• Or DM us your shots directly
  
  

• Or email them to: Annabellmeyer8@gmail.com

Winning photos will be featured in upcoming blog posts, story takeovers, and possibly even a zine or print drop.

This challenge is open to everyone — students, hobbyists, iPhone-only photographers, and total beginners. No fancy camera needed. Just your perspective.

Let’s show Woodstock through your eyes.
Now go chase the light!
