Your past can be part of the Arch’s future—seriously! We want YOU to submit your best personal photos of the Arch for the chance to be included in a brand-new, digital photo exhibit coming to the Arch tram loading areas in March 2016.

So, that super-fun family photo shoot you had at the Arch when you were 10 years old? Yep, we want those photos!

Those wedding photos you took at the Arch grounds in 1995? We want them!

Those photos from the Arch’s construction that are currently in that memory box in your closet? Of course, we want them!

Here’s what you need to do:

1. Go to www.gatewayarch.com/submitphotos.
2. Upload your photo(s) using our easy online submission tool.
3. Make sure to caption your photo, and add appropriate tags. (Is it a selfie? A sunset?)
4. Agree to the terms and conditions.
5. Submit!

Do you have original, non-digitized prints that you’d like to submit? The Missouri History Museum will host a photo-scanning event from 9:30 to 11 a.m. on the day of the Arch’s 50^th anniversary, October 28. For original prints, entrants will be able to scan and retain their original photos, and the digital copies will be used for submissions.  The photos will also be submitted to the Arch Perspectives exhibit, a collaboration between University of Missouri – St. Louis and the Missouri History Museum.  At the submitters’ request, event staff will offer a digital copy of their scanned photo via email.

Submit away!
