WANTED: Your mug in our 2012 City Guide!

POSTED: Friday, June 8, 2012, 4:59 PM

We're looking for a diverse group of everyday Philadelphians to represent his or her hood in our 2012 City Guide, a glossy intro-to-the-city mag we publish in the fall for Philly transplants. (See a copy of last year's here.) Here's a rundown of who we're looking for:

WHO: You. Philadelphians who are passionate about their hoods. Men, women, gays, straights, black, orange, couples, Siamese twins, bartenders, local business owners, hookers, whoever. You!

WHAT: Your photo, along with a quote, will be featured in a section all about your hood — which'll feature our guide on everything from the area's best restaurants and bars to a rundown of that district's council person and bus lines.

WHEN: You would schedule a time with our staff photog, Neal Santos, preferably in the afternoon between June 20 and July 18.

WHERE: You'll be asked to choose your favorite spot in your neighborhood — whether it be a park or a random corner with your favorite street art. The more creative spots the better.

WHY: We're looking to add local voices and faces to our magazine this year, to put together a personable, all-inclusive guide that exemplifies why our city rocks balls.

To be considered, send an email to josh.middleton@citypaper.net with (1) a photo of yourself, (2) a quick blurb about your favorite spot in your neighborhood and, of course, (3) tell us which neighborhood you live in. We need all entries by Wed., June 20.

Here's a list of hoods we're covering:

Old City/Wash West
Rittenhouse/Center City West
Society Hill/South Street East
Gayborhood/Midtown Village
Chinatown/Loft District
Bella Vista/Queen Village
Graduate Hospital/Gray's Ferry/South Street West
South Philly
East Passyunk/Italian Market
Germantown/Mount Airy/Chestnut Hill
West Philly/University City/Southwest Philly
Fairmount/Art Museum
Manayunk/Roxborough/East Falls
Northern Liberties
North Philly/Olney/Oak Lane
The Northwest
Port Richmond/Kensington/Fishtown
