OCEAN CITY – As Sunfest, one of Ocean City’s most popular festivals, gets ready to celebrate its 35th anniversary Sept. 24-27 at the Inlet Lot and beach, the Town of Ocean City is looking for photos that have been taken over the years to be displayed during the event.

“We want to observe the 35th anniversary of Sunfest in a special way,” said John Sullivan, Town Special Events Director. “We welcome everyone to send in their favorite Sunfest photos so that we can share all the great memories that have been captured over these past 35 years.”

Submit your favorite Sunfest photo in jpeg format and you will automatically be entered to win a weekend stay in Ocean City and an official Sunfest 35th Anniversary T-shirt. Jpeg images of Sunfest scenes must be submitted via the town’s web sites – www.town.ocean-city.md.us or www.ococean.com. Photos will be accepted through Friday, Sept. 18.

The photos will be displayed during the event. The drawing for the winner of the weekend stay in Ocean City will be held at the conclusion of Sunfest at 5 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 27 when all raffle drawings are traditionally held.
