Hidden Gems Community Photo Contest

Arvada encompasses more than 39 square miles of recreational, residential and commercial spaces. Tucked into those diverse spaces are "Hidden Gems" that allow us to pause, reflect and cherish. "Hidden Gems" can mean different things to different people: a fishing spot under a bridge, a bench with a majestic view, a stained glass window in a church, a tree that has twisted in the elements over decades (pictured).  

We invite you to share your hidden gems with us and reveal Arvada's hidden beauty!

How to share:

Snap a photo of your hidden gem and email to [email protected]. Selected photos will be featured on the City’s social media platforms and in the Arvada Report.
