Calling all amateur or professional photographers: Show us your best color photography!
Savings Bank of Walpole (SBW) is excited to celebrate 150 years of community banking and announce the seventh annual Community Calendar Photo Contest!
What can I win?
A $100 cash prize will be awarded for each winning photo – up to a maximum of 10 entries. All winners are responsible for the payment of any federal, state and local taxes on their prize(s).
What type of photos will win?
Winning photos will demonstrate a strong focus on community events and people enjoying the venues, attractions and local businesses in New Hampshire. Photos should highlight the unique character and beauty of the state’s local communities.
We invite you to submit photos that beautifully represent what it means to live, work and play in New Hampshire: community events such as parades, fairs, festivals and local sporting events; local landmarks; areas of scenic beauty; seasonal pastimes, such as fishing, ice fishing, sailing, hiking, skiing and boating; and interesting artwork.
Judging of all submitted photography will be blind – the name of the photographer will not be known by the judging panel. Decisions will be based on suitability of the subject, quality of the photography, and adherence to the purpose of the contest.
Where will the winning photos be displayed?
Winning photos for the calendar contest will be displayed in SBW’s 2026 community calendar, and can be used in our annual holiday cards, website or other advertising opportunities. This may include use by our affiliate NH Mutual Bancorp or NHTrust Company.
