You love Portland in all its rain-drenched, bike-loving, beer-drinking glory. Now is the time to record what you love about your Northwest home and share with others. Our Portland Story is part coffee-table book, part yearbook, and part insider’s travel guide, but is all about Portland by Portlanders.

You love Portland, tell us why.

Call for submissions for the 2010-2012 book
Our Portland Story is seeking story submissions for the next edition of the book. Submissions include a paragraph or so of text describing ONE thing you love about Portland that makes it unique. Topics could range from the smallest detail of a hidden neighborhood, the philosophy of the people, a microbrew, a single person, a restaurant, or a particular event. We are looking for a wide range of submissions that capture many different aspects of the city in this place in time – weird, wacky, smart, touching, trendy, etc. Your submission may also include an image – a photograph, art piece, or anything that illustrates your text submission. Be bold, be creative; after all you are a Portlander.

Submission Details
The submission deadline to be considered for inclusion in the next book is December 31, 2010. Each accepted submission will be granted a full page in the book, where your image and text will be matched with other graphic elements to create a fully designed page.

The final book will be in full color. You will be notified if you are chosen and receive a copy of the finished product. Keep in mind your name will be used next to your submission. Please take a moment to read the Terms of Submission.
