Meredith Village Savings Bank (MVSB) is launching its annual Photo Contest on Monday, March 28 for full-color photography. Winning photographs will be featured in the Community Calendars for Meredith Village Savings Bank (MVSB), Merrimack County Savings Bank (the Merrimack) and MillRiver Wealth Management (MillRiver). Successful entries for the website division will be displayed on the home pages of MVSB, the Merrimack, MillRiver and New Hampshire Mutual Bancorp (NHMB). Winning photos may also be included in desk calendars, holiday cards and note cards.
Winning photographs will focus on community events and people enjoying local New Hampshire venues, attractions and businesses. Photographers of all levels and ability are encouraged to submit their best work.
Entries may be for either the calendar or website or both, and separate entry forms are required for each portion of the contest. The required format for website submissions is different from calendar submissions. Official entry forms and rules are available at any MVSB location. Forms are also available online at mvsb.com/photocontest.
All photos and entry forms must be submitted before close of business on Saturday, May 28, 2016 to any MVSB branch office. A $50 cash prize will be awarded for each winning photo selected for either the calendar or website. Winners are responsible for the payment of any federal, state and local taxes on their prizes.
