Calling all photographers - Display and Competition, "Streetscapes", at Lordly Estate Municipal Museum to be held in the summer of 2013 - Entry deadline August 1, 2012 Entry form and information

Streetscapes of the Municipality of Chester

Presented by

Chester Municipal Heritage Society

The Historic Photography Exhibition and Contemporary Photography Competition will highlight over 100 years of “Streetscapes” in the Municipality. It will be on display in Lordly House July-September, 2013. The goals of the exhibit are:

1. to present Streetscapes of the Municipality of Chester through historic and contemporary photographs, recorded verbal interviews, computer images and selected historic artifacts

2. to contrast 25 years of recent photographs with older photos

3. to develop a more complete photographic history of villages in the Municipality

Part 1: The Exhibition – Historic photos of Streetscapes in the Villages of the Municipality

The exhibit will focus on historic photos of main streets throughout the Municipality. The unframed photos can be panoramic, 5” x 7” or 8” x 10.” Each community may submit up to 20 photos—5 to be hung and the rest to be included in a digital slide show. Each photo must be accompanied by a completed entry form and received by July 15, 2012.

We would also like 5” x 7” photos of people and events and selected artifacts that represent the communities and bring the architecture “to life.”

Part 2: Photography Competition – Photos of the last 25 years 1987-2012

A photography competition will compare the early Streetscapes to the more current ones of the Municipality through photos taken in the last 25 years 1987-2012. A single photo per photographer may be entered and must be submitted by July 15, 2012, to be eligible. All entries must accompany a completed entry form.

People viewing the exhibit will vote on their favorite photo for a “People’s choice” prize. In addition to a $250 award, the winning photograph will become the property of the Heritage Society and be recognized in CMHS advertising and promotions in 2014.

We encourage your participation.
