Community Darkroom Fundraiser & Photo Contest
DEADLINE: September 12, 2026 @ 11:59pm
We invite photographers to submit their work for a chance to have their image selected and engraved onto a ceramic tile. Selected tiles will become a permanent part of the Coco-op Darkroom backsplash, creating a lasting installation that celebrates the artists and community who helped build this space.
Your donation directly helps us keep these classes affordable and accessible to our community—giving more people the opportunity to learn, create, and explore traditional photographic processes.
Photo contest theme: Route 66, Northern Arizona, Photography. When you think of our town and the surrounding Northern Arizona landscape, what comes to mind?
Your submission might be inspired by the historic architecture of Route 66, the landscapes that surround us, the people who call Flagstaff home, or the everyday moments that make this community unique. Whether your perspective is iconic or unexpected, we want to see what Northern Arizona looks like through your eyes.
