Photo Contest

Dear Photography Enthusiast,

We will be sponsoring a Photo Contest at the Shoreham Town Festival again this year to raise money for the Platt Memorial Library Building Fund,. I am writing to encourage you to enter your photos. It will be fun and help a great cause. There are three age levels and five categories to enter. Photos will be judged prior to the Festival and exhibited at the Festival on August 30, 2008. Entries are due on or before August 25th, they can be mailed to Abby Goodrich or be dropped off at the Platt Memorial Library. At the Festival, prizes will be awarded for first place photos in each category at each age level. To raise money for the library building campaign, photos will be auctioned off during the Festival through silent auctioning. I hope you will consider participating. We are looking forward to seeing your work. Please encourage others to join in the fun too, the more competition the more excitement! Please look over the contest rules below. Good luck and bring on your best photos!

Sincerely,
Abby Goodrich
