Show your College Park Pride!

Incorporated on June 7, 1945, the City is turning 75 this year!  And while we are unable to celebrate in person due to the COVID-19 pandemic (more information here), we still want to celebrate with you! During this pandemic, we have seen so much amazing community spirit that we would like to continue showcasing it through the Show Your College Park Pride Contest!

We want to see and hear your stories and pride for College Park!  Submit your videos, drawings and photos of your College Park spirit. All video and image entries will be made into a video collage to showcase our wonderful residents and their favorite memories. We can’t wait to see your creativity and what you’ll send!

Examples of videos and images include:

  • Sharing a favorite memory or story of College Park in a video
  • Photo or video of your College Park Pride window or chalk art
  • Drawing of a favorite place in the City
  • A why you love College Park video
