“The Wissahickon has always inspired artists and photographers,” says Jay Goldstein, President and CEO of Valley Green Bank. “The Friends of the Wissahickon capture that spirit of creativity with this photo contest that encourages amateur photographers to participate. Valley Green Bank is pleased to support not only the excellent work of FOW, but also the efforts of friends and neighbors who participate in this contest.”
FOW is looking for striking images taken in Wissahickon Valley Park that capture its natural beauty and wildness. Photographers may submit work in five categories: people; wildlife, landscape; structures; and FOW activities.
A $100 prize will be awarded for Best in Show. First Place winners in each category will receive $50. Second place winners in each category will receive a gift certificate. First Place winners in two Junior Competitions (under 12 and ages 13-17) will receive $25 each.
You must be an FOW member in order to participate in the contest. Non-members may join online or contact FOW’s office. Photographers will retain the rights to their photographs, but FOW retains the right to use all photo contest submissions on their website and in their publications.
A reception for the winners will be held in December at Cedars House in Wissahickon Valley Park and photos will be showcased there and at Valley Green Bank’s Chestnut Hill and Mt. Airy branches.
Valley Green Bank, with its headquarters at 7226 Germantown Avenue in Mt. Airy, a branch at 23 W. Highland Avenue in Chestnut Hill, and a commercial loan office in Radnor, is a locally-owned and operated in Pennsylvania commercial bank. The bank was formed by community and business leaders who make customer service a priority. Valley Green Bank is a member of FDIC and an Equal Housing Lender.
Entries should be sent to the FOW office at 8708 Germantown Avenue, Philadelphia, PA 19118. For complete submission guidelines, rules, and an official entry form, go online or visit FOW’s office at 8708 Germantown Avenue.
