Photo calendar contest

The 2018 ERIEBANK wall calendar will feature photos from the Northwestern Pennsylvania and Northeastern Ohio region, this year with the theme of “Americana.” The Americana theme encompasses all things that help tell the story of who we are and where we came from – from family heirlooms to well-loved toys, priceless artifacts and items of nostalgia to pop culture. Things that are red, white and blue, an aged baseball glove, or a restored car are just a few examples.

Local residents, whether a beginner, amateur or professional photographer, are encouraged to submit one or two photos online at www.ERIEBANK.bank. Photos can be submitted through August 6.

On Wednesday, August 9, 12 winners, including Best of Show, and 24 honorable mentions will be selected. These photos will then be printed in the bank’s 2018 wall calendars which will begin to be distributed to customers in November. The winners will be announced Friday, August 11.

ERIEBANK 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.
