About
Trenton Health Team’s #WhyILikeTrenton social media photography contest is a space to highlight the talented creative community in Trenton. Amateur photographers can cultivate Trenton pride by sharing visual snapshots of Trenton’s architecture, people, and culture. Using the hashtag #WhyILikeTrenton on Instagram and Facebook, we invite participants to enter our contest to share the wonders of Trenton. The contest begins June 1 and ends June 30, and winners will be announced by July 31.
