🎄 Neighbors’ Christmas Photos

Email your photo to [email protected] with the subject “Christmas photo.” In your note, please tell us:

• The neighborhood, town or general area (for example, “Bowman Woods, Cedar Rapids” or “near Thomas Park, Marion”).
• A few words about the scene, if you like.
• Whether you would like credit, and if so, your first name only.

Our Tell Us form is perfect for a note or a tip about a display worth visiting, but it can’t carry photos, so please email the picture itself.

We take your privacy, and your neighbors’ privacy, to heart. Before you send a photo, please check that it shows:

• No recognizable faces, especially children’s. Lights, trees and decorations are the stars here.
• No house numbers, license plates or street signs that could pinpoint a home.
• No full street addresses. We only share a neighborhood or general area.
• Only photos you took yourself, of displays you can see from a public street or of your own home.

Here is our promise to you:

• Kathy reviews every photo before it is posted, and may crop, blur or decline any photo to protect privacy.
• Credit is your choice: first name and neighborhood only, or no name at all.
• Removal on request: if you ever want a photo taken down, simply email [email protected] and we will remove it promptly. The same goes for any homeowner who sees their own home here.
• We never share your email address or last name.

By sending a photo, you confirm that you took it and give Linn Neighbors permission to share it here, with credit as you choose.
