Summerlin photography competition announced

Summerlin has started to accept submissions to its 2021 Summerlin Photography Competition, open to both professional and amateur photographers ages 18 and older. Submissions will be accepted through Sept. 9 under the Event section at Summerlin.com.

Winners will be announced and featured at the 2021 Summerlin Festival of Arts, Oct. 9-10 at Downtown Summerlin. Winning photos also may be displayed at Downtown Summerlin throughout the year and will be used on Summerlin social media channels with credit given to photographers.

Photographers are invited to submit photos in three categories: architecture, man-made landscapes and natural landscapes within and immediately adjacent to the community. To qualify, architectural and man-made landscapes as subject matter must be within Summerlin; natural landscapes must be located in Summerlin or within the adjacent Red Rock Canyon National Conversation Area/Spring Mountains area. For a Summerlin boundary map, visit Summerlin.com.

According to Danielle Bisterfeldt, senior vice president of marketing and consumer experience for Summerlin, the community has been the subject of thousands of photos seen around the world.

“Summerlin is well-known for both its natural and man-made beauty, so the photo competition is the perfect way to invite shutterbugs to celebrate the community’s inherent splendor. From the stunning red rocks that frame the community’s western edge, to contemporary architecture and well-manicured parks, streetscapes and common areas, Summerlin offers no shortage of ideal subject matter for photographers. We are excited to start receiving submissions,” she said.

Photos will be juried by a team of professional photographers. Winners in each category will receive a Downtown Summerlin gift card valued at $250 and a professional-quality print of their winning photo that will be displayed at the Festival of Arts Oct. 9-10.

Runners-up in each category will receive a $50 Downtown Summerlin gift card.

Las Vegas City Council adopts 2050 master plan

The Las Vegas 2050 Master Plan was formally adopted by the City Council, establishing a new vision for a livable and sustainable Las Vegas over the next 30 years.

Developed with community input and the SmithGroup consulting team over the past two years, the plan addresses a variety of issues and top challenges, including population growth, public health, education, drought, public safety, parks and recreation, housing and economic diversification, in a manner that will provide residents equitable access to services, education and jobs.

As part of the plan, 16 areas have been established throughout the city’s territory, comprised of existing neighborhoods and districts such as downtown Las Vegas, Centennial Hills and Summerlin, each designed for the city to respond to the needs of constituents and businesses.

The plan also amends the land use of more than 3,000 parcels throughout the city to allow for new mixed-use, transit-oriented zoning.

To track progress on the plan, the city will feature outcomes of important long-term metrics to show achievement of the plan’s short-term and long-term goals. The city will start work immediately to implement the new plan with complementary projects with regional stakeholders, including:

■ Health and wellness centers.

■ Strong Start Academies.

■ New trails and bike facilities.

■ Drought and water conservation efforts.

■ Maryland Parkway bus rapid transit.

■ Zoning changes for mixed-use, transit-oriented developments.

“The 2050 Master Plan builds on the many accomplishments I mentioned in my State of the City address at the beginning of the year,” Las Vegas Mayor Carolyn Goodman said. “We’ve been the nation’s fastest-growing city and have witnessed how places like downtown can be transformed with good planning. This plan for our community’s future will ensure Las Vegas remains the leading global destination for visitors and will deliver on our commitment of a well-planned, resilient and livable city for current and future residents for years to come.”
