CLEARFIELD – Due to an overwhelming response from participants and customers who enjoyed the 2011 CNB Bank wall calendars, 2012 CNB Bank wall calendars will once again feature local photos of Pennsylvania scenes. Local residents, whether they are beginner, amateur or professional photographers, are encouraged to submit one or two of their photos via the Web site. Photos will be received until Aug. 15.
On Aug. 19, 2011, thirteen winners, including a Best of Show, and twenty-four honorable mentions will be selected and their photos will then be forwarded to be laid out and printed in the Bank’s 2012 wall calendars, which will be distributed to customers beginning in November. The winners will be announced Aug. 19, 2011.
The winner’s will be selected by photographer, Kevin M. Mills, who provided the entire collection of Pennsylvania photographs featured in the Bank’s 2010 wall calendar. Mills will also select one ‘Best of Show’ to be featured on the front cover. Mills started taking photographs and processing film at age 12 and never quit. Upon graduation from high school, he began teaching photography classes and learned the intricacies under the tutelage of a professional photographer in Colorado. He currently teaches photography at the Huntingdon Vo-Tech School and prefers to photograph nature, still life, portraiture, architecture and weddings.
CNB initiated this contest to provide an avenue to feature local talent and the communities in which the Bank serves through the eyes of residents as they’ve captured with their camera.
“Featuring scenes of Western Pennsylvania from local photographers on our 2011 wall calendar last year was an excellent idea.” Joe Bower, president & CEO of CNB Bank continued by saying, “Last year’s entries were fantastic and we were impressed with the local talent. We can’t wait to see this year’s entries.”
Beginning July 1, CNB began accepting photo submissions on the web site. Each entrant can submit up to two photos. For details on the contest and photo requirements, visit www.bankcnb.com and click on the contest banner on the right hand side.
CNB would like to encourage everyone to participate and wish all photographers, beginner to professional, the best of luck!
