Commission updates photo contest: prizes secured, donation handling and award logistics discussed
Summary
The commission reported receiving photo contest entries and securing $625 in gift cards for honorable-mention prizes; members clarified donation handling and discussed scheduling awards and a fall gallery showing.
Commission members said the community photo contest had attracted entries (ten as of the meeting) and that $625 in gift-card prizes had been obtained for honorable mentions. Members discussed logistics for judging, award dates and a potential fall gallery at the parish house or a summer bandstand event.
The select board and town staff advised that donations for the contest should be collected and then remitted to the town in a single check so the town can place the funds in a designated account for the contest. Members agreed to collect donations, consolidate them and present one donation check to the town for deposit into the fund established for contest awards.
Commissioners discussed next steps for judging and awards: coordinating with the recreation department for possible award timing (bandstand concerts were suggested), confirming judging schedules and arranging a fall gallery showing of contest images at the parish house. Members also asked volunteers to supply photographs for the commission’s Facebook page and to forward judge-contact emails for coordination.
A follow-up assignment was to ask the recreation department for available dates and to coordinate a judging timeline and award ceremony logistics.
