The city wants to use the photos to create an archive, though without seeing the "Use Agreement" mentioned in the rules, I can't tell if you are handing over the rights to the photo you enter or not.

The contact guy at City Hall  is Tyler Caldwell at 334-241-2728

*The flyer advertising the contest says "Montgomery's most inspiring buildings and places", so perhaps it can be a building or a place?
