It is that time of year again to dig through your old photos or get snapping! Mt Washington Valley’s 2nd annual Photo Contest hosted by Bernadette Friberg of Badger Realty requests all entries to be submitted by October 15th, 2009.

Back by popular demand is the theme “There’s No Place Like Home”. “So many people had such a unique interpretation of the theme that it seemed like a good one to continue with” says Bernie. “I think we all feel at home in this beautiful area and the feelings of “home” do come out in many creative ways “. Bernie invites you to take a look at last year’s winners on-line at the photo contest website http://www.mwvphotocontest.com/ or by stopping in to Badger’s North Conway office and asking to preview the “2009 Calendar for Charity”. There is usually a story behind each photo and Bernie enjoys hearing the stories and meeting the photographers who share in her passion. Besides selling Real Estate for the past 25 years, Bernie has also become the photographer for Badger Realty. In addition, Bernie has been very active in photographing the MWV Theater company for their 2009 venue of musicals and enjoys photographing other events affiliated with her friends and family ties.
