Brooklyn Borough President Eric L. Adams and the Brooklyn Historical Society (BHS) announced on Tuesday the “A Blast from Brooklyn’s Past” photo challenge. The challenge invites all Brooklynites to submit their photos of the borough’s past — in particular, images that capture Brooklyn’s evolution in architecture, streetscapes, and vistas.
“‘A Blast from Brooklyn’s Past’ will reignite wonderful memories for longtime Brooklynites, as well as inspire a deeper love of our borough from our newer arrivals,” said Borough President Adams.
Winning submissions will be placed on Brooklyn Borough Hall’s Flickr page, and a portion of the entries will be selected for publication in upcoming editions of the “One Brooklyn” newspaper — Borough President Adams’ community newspaper that is distributed to more than 80,000 residents in the borough. Submissions will be chosen for publication based on their historical value, photographic quality, and unique setting; the first round of “A Blast from Brooklyn’s Past” photos was cultivated from BHS’ own archives.

“At Brooklyn Historical Society we take great pride in our extensive photography collections,” said Deborah Schwartz, president of BHS. “They paint a vibrant picture of our borough’s history for curators, researchers, scholars, students, and the general public. We’re thrilled to join Borough President Adams in this invitation to all of Brooklyn to explore their own photographic collections. Aside from being fun, we hope this contest reminds people of the important role photographs play to capture both the intimate and global.”
Submissions for “A Blast from Brooklyn’s Past” can be emailed to photos@brooklynbp.nyc.gov, and must be lower than 10 MB in file size.
