June 28, 2025
We are thrilled to announce that this August, we’ll have our first-ever “Framed” issue featuring local photographers of all experience levels! If you’ve captured a stunning sunset over the water, an unparalleled view of the dunes, a field of wildflowers, or anything else that showcases the magic of a northern Michigan summer, send it our way! Submissions for the Framed issue will be accepted June 28 to August 4, 2025. For consideration, send your photo to info [at] northernexpress [dot] com with the subject line “Framed Photo Submission.” In the body of the email, share your full name, your city/town of residence, a one-sentence description of the photo, and whether you are an amateur or professional photographer. Note: Photos must be a minimum size of 300KB and cannot exceed 5MB (or our server may reject them). Keep an eye out for your photo in the August 18 issue!
