Bernadette Friberg of Badger Realty has put together a beautiful 2009 calendar with the 12 winners of her first ever MWV Photo Contest. The cost of the calendar is a $10.00 donation to Starting Point Services, a local non profit agency providing services to victims of domestic and sexual violence. Begun as a 3 month photo contest themed “There’s No Place Like Home”, it has now expanded into another way to provide needed donations to local non-Profit agencies. The contest which ended October 15, 2008 brought in over 200 photographs from local artists who had some connection to the Mt Washington Valley. Anyone who had an eye for picture taking was encouraged to dig thru their photos or get snapping. In the student category 3rd place was won by a 10 year old, Tyler Mahoney with a great photo she called “Fall Flower”. Second place was senior in HS, Carly Pellitier with a photo she called “Bicycle Ride in the Countryside”. The 1st place Student photo was won by Fryeburg resident Alicia Leavitt who is now a Freshman in college in Florida, and submitted a favorite summer photo called “Nature’s Bounty”. “The Student and Amateur categories proved just as fun to admire and judge as were the professional photos submitted by our local pros and semi pros. Amateur winners were Dan Camara, John Linda and Janet Grady. Pro/Semi Pro winners were Heather Durgin, Megan Simone and Linda Little. The three Honorable mentions were all from the Amateur category with Tom Troon, Susan Zaremba (Grandmother of Tyler Mahoney), and Karen Williams. “ All in allit was a very difficult decision as there were just so many great and creative pictures to choose from” Said Bernie. “Our 2009 calendar now on sale represents the 1-2-3rd place winners in each of the 3 categories along with the 3 honorable mentions. The 12 photographers won not only a spot in the 2009 calendar but also received cash prizes totaling over $700”.
