CONCORD, NH — The 2019 community photo contest is underway by New Hampshire Mutual Bancorp and its related financial institutions including the Merrimack County Savings Bank. Community pictures, featuring local events and other themes, will be accepted through June 15, 2019. A prize of $100 will be awarded for every winning photo (with the winners responsible for any taxes on the prizes).

The photos will be used, when needed, for the company’s websites and printed material such as calendars and cards.

A maximum of five, full-color photographs will be accepted with each submission. Online entries can be made at mvsb.com/photo-contest, themerrimack.com/photo-contest or walpolebank.com/photocontest. Contestants preferring to enter prints can gather the forms to fill out and drop off prints at any branch office of the MVSB, the Merrimack, or Savings Bank of Walpole.

After the photos are submitted, a panel of judges will pick the best ones. The judges will not know who the photographers are. All photos will be judged based on the suitability of the subject matter, quality, and following the contest theme – which is a celebration of New Hampshire.
