Looking for more photos of Geneva? People can now find them on our new Instagram account @CityofGenevaIL.

The City is expanding its social media presence to showcase our fantastic festivals and events, our beautiful community backdrop and the many things to do in Geneva throughout the year. Plus, this will be another avenue to share your photos with us!

Since winter, we have been asking for photos of your family having fun in Geneva, your favorite local recreational activity or scenic Geneva pictures. We have posted galleries of all our resident submissions on our website (click on our photo gallery) and on Facebook. We’ve even taken some of our best entries and made them our Facebook cover photo.

Now, sharing photos with us will be even easier with Instagram. First, follow the City @CityofGenevaIL. Then follow these next steps:

• If you have a public profile, all you have to do is tag us in your photo or mention @CityofGenevaIL in a post or comment.

• If your account is set to private, send us your photo through the “Instagram Direct” feature (we won’t be notified if you simply tag or mention us given Instagram’s privacy restrictions).

Once we receive your photo, we’ll share it with our followers and post it in our online gallery. We have really enjoyed seeing how great our community is through your eyes. Keep the photos coming via Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. If you have questions, or just feel more comfortable sharing your pictures through email, contact Communications Coordinator Kevin Stahr at kstahr@geneva.il.us.
