ComEd is celebrating the start of summer by inviting photographers of all skill levels to compete for prizes in its Summer Solstice Photo Contest. Entrants can submit photos of sunrises and sunsets from June 1 through the Summer Solstice on June 21.

ComEd’s inaugural contest last year yielded 1,816 photo entries, including beautiful sunsets and sunrises showcasing Chicago’s magnificent skyline, the shores of Lake Michigan, rural settings, landscapes, wildlife, plants, and other natural elements.
“After seeing such enthusiasm for the photo contest last year, we are happy to bring it back,” said Scott Vogt, ComEd’s vice president of strategy and energy policy. “The contest is a great way for us to share the beauty of summer and it gives customers a chance to learn about their options for participating in solar energy and the benefits of clean, renewable energy.”
Contest participants with the top four entries will receive an Apple Watch Series 7, while a grand prize winner will receive an Apple Watch Series 7 and a private tour for four at the Adler Planetarium. The contest is open to residents in the ComEd service territory who are 18 years of age or older.
