Get featured
Show us your Des Moines.
The best patio, the plate you're still thinking about, the Tuesday night that turned into something. Send it in and we'll feature you, on Instagram, on the blog, and in the Standard. With credit, always.
Where you show up
On Instagram
The best photos land on our feed and stories, tagged back to you.
On the blog
Your pick can show up in a roundup or a neighborhood guide on the News page.
In the Standard
Reader photos and picks go out to the whole city in the weekly email.
Send us your night.
Takes a minute. Add a photo or two, tell us where you were, and you're in the running.
What makes a good one
Real over polished
A phone photo of a great plate beats a staged shot. Snap it the way you'd send it to a friend.
Tell us where
Name the spot and the neighborhood so we can send people there too.
A line of story
Why was it worth it? A sentence is plenty.
Run a spot?
