Photo Contest

by Russell Swanson, Exec. Dir., VDID, Main Street Vineland

We may not be seeing snow yet, but we’re still deep into planning our second annual Ole Fashioned Christmas on The Ave, slated for Friday and Saturday, December 2 and 3. Now, that may seem a long way off, but here’s an aspect of that event about which you can start thinking—the VDID/Main Street Vineland Fall/Winter Photo Contest.

It is time for you to start clicking away on your camera for some lovely fall or winter scene that, when the times comes, you can photograph and capture for all to see. The picture can contain people or be a plain scene. Photos containing people should include a model release. Model releases are available upon request. Winning photographs will be displayed at the event.

Just some ground rules: no photos from a commercial or paid photo session, photos can be any size but must be displayed as 11’ by 14” mounted, and you grant Main Street Vineland the use of your photo for advertising purposes. One entry is allowed per person.

Photos can be dropped off at the Main Street Vineland office, at 603 E. Landis Ave., or T&F Camera, 1362 S. Delsea Dr. All judging will be done by a professional photographic judge. Prizes will be awarded. The submission deadline is Friday, November 18, but start thinking now about that magical seasonal shot.

Watch for more information about An Olde Fashioned Christmas in the future weeks and months. It will be a very action packed weekend that you won’t want to miss!
