The Sudbury Historical Society Sponsors New Photo Contest

As the saying goes, "A picture is worth a thousand words." The Sudbury Historical Society wants to know what you think makes Sudbury, Sudbury, through a new photo contest, "Picturing Sudbury: A Celebration of Our Town." We want you to use a photograph to complete the sentence, "Sudbury wouldn't be Sudbury without..." The picture in your mind may be different from your neighbor's.

Photographs may capture Sudbury's buildings, landscapes, monuments, streetscapes, businesses, people, or any place or activity that is quintessentially Sudbury. Examples might include The Wayside Inn campus, Town Center at sunset, Pantry Brook Farm while the corn is high, Mill Village at the holidays, or every day life in general -- You show us!

For information on how to enter your photographs in the contest, visit the Society's web site, www.sudbury01776.org. To enter the contest, any Sudbury resident may submit photographs taken in Sudbury within the last five years. The contest, open to all ages, runs from September 1, 2013 through July 31, 2014.

At the end of each month a selection of submitted images will be posted on the Society's web site. Winners will be announced in September 2014 in an exhibition that coincides with the 375th Anniversary of Sudbury's founding. Photographs will be judged for various categories including young photographers, artistic merit, technical excellence, and most evocative of present-day Sudbury. Details about the Winners Exhibition will be announced at a later date.

Should you have questions about the contest, send an e-mail message to shsPhotoContest375@verizon.net. We look forward to seeing your photographs.

The Sudbury Historical Society is a nonprofit organization dedicated to bringing the rich history of the Sudbury Plantation and its evolution into the lives and activities of the community.
