Why Capture NEA?
This initiative was launched by a group of four individuals from the Leadership Jonesboro Class of 2025 to address the lack of appealing and accurate images of Northeast Arkansas found in online search results. Our goal was to crowdsource high-quality photography from both professionals and hobbyists to improve the region’s digital footprint, support tourism, and foster community pride.
Thank you, Judges!
