    “Native Chicagoans typically think Navy Pier is only for out of towners. I’m an exception. My wife and three kids spent a day there last summer. We did all the touristy stuff, rode the Ferris wheel, had lunch and took a boat tour. That’s where I finally got close enough to the Chicago Harbor Lighthouse to snap this picture, which, usually, I could only admire from the pier.” – John Hoenadel

“In combing through the tens of thousands of submissions, it’s astonishing to see the diversity of landscapes, local haunts, mom and pop shops, wildlife, and local hidden gems through the focused lens of a camera,” said Nextdoor CEO, Sarah Friar. “Beyond their excellent quality, these photos uniquely capture the connection, community, and people across neighborhoods everywhere. Congratulations to the winners – and a sincere thank you to everyone who participated for sharing a glimpse of your neighborhood.”

This year’s competition inspired submissions from every state in the country, more than doubling the number of entries from the 2022 competition. In its second year, #LoveYourNeighborhood introduced new competition categories to highlight beloved features of neighborhoods, from the local businesses that anchor their communities, to the furry and feathered creatures that fascinate their human neighbors.

The overall Grand Prize winner will receive a prize package including a professional camera kit to continue their photography pursuits.
