Call for Photo Assets: Help Tell Mason City’s Story

Last Updated 1/25/2026Posted in Partner News & Updates


Mason City’s story is shaped by the people, places, and experiences that make our destination truly unique. Our local businesses, partners, and residents play a vital role in telling that story.

As we prepare for the 2026 tourism season, Visit Mason City is seeking high-quality photo assets that showcase our community’s attractions, restaurants, events, outdoor recreation, arts, architecture, and authentic visitor experiences. These images help us market Mason City to visitors, support local businesses, and reinforce our brand promise that what you’ll find here is truly Unheard Of.

We invite our tourism partners, stakeholders, and destination champions to contribute photos that reflect the energy, pride, and character of Mason City. Whether captured professionally or through everyday moments, these visuals help communicate what makes our community a place people want to visit — and a place residents are proud to call home.

How You Can Participate

  • Images may be featured in Visit Mason City marketing materials, print publications, digital campaigns, and promotional efforts.

Love Where You Live… and Share It!

Strong destinations start with local pride. One of the best ways to support tourism is by attending local events, visiting local businesses, and sharing your experiences with friends, family, and followers on social media.

Be sure to:

  • Follow Visit Mason City on social media
  • Tag us in your posts and use #ItsUnheardOf #MasonCityIowa #LoveWhereYouLive

Every photo, post, and story helps amplify Mason City’s visibility and reinforces why our community is worth celebrating.

Let us help you get started:

  • Subscribe to Visit Mason City’s weekly email newsletter for a rundown of events and experiences happening in Mason City each week.
  • Share your moments online so we can help tell the story together.

When our community shows up, shares its pride, and champions local experiences, we strengthen Mason City’s reputation as a destination that’s not just visited — it’s remembered. Together, we’ll continue to show the world why Mason City is truly Unheard Of.
