Sundays on Telegraph kicked off in Berkeley last weekend, and returns to the avenue every Sunday through Sept. 21. The car-free street party began with a mellow vibe, great music and attendees of all walks of life.

For the next two weekends, Berkeleyside and Mayor Tom Bates’ office invite visitors to the event to submit their photographs of the party for a chance to win very cool prizes: theater tickets for adults and other items for youth 17 and under. 

All the details for the photo contest and the festival are posted here. In a nutshell, photographs can be submitted until midnight July 31 either on Instagram, by using using the hashtag #SoTelegraph, or by posting or sharing publicly on the Sundays on Telegraph Facebook page. (Private messages cannot be considered.)

Enjoy some of our photographs, below, from last weekend to get inspired. Read the fine print.
