Help us capture the Waupaca story of this unprecedented time in history!

We want to exhibit your photographs (hopefully in person, otherwise online) to show what it's like to be Safer at Home. Are you still able to go to your workplace? What does it look like? Working from home? Show us how you're doing it. We all miss family and friends-what ways have you found to stay in touch? There are so many emotions right now. Use your photography to capture the hope, fear, kindness, sadness and every day details that make this 'snapshot' in time unique.

Awards (Waupaca Chamber of Commerce gift certifcates) will be given for the top three entries in these categories:

Adult Division: Helpers & Heroes • Your New Normal • Acts of Kindess
