Visions of the ValleyTM 2010
Photography Contest & Calendar
Attention all photographers interested in showing and promoting your work in the Hudson Valley/Catskills region of New York:
The Rondout Valley Business Association (RVBA) invites you to submit up to 3 entries in Visions of the Valley™ 2010.
This annual event is a community outreach program and fundraiser to benefit local scholarship programs and the RVBA.
Visions of the Valley™ 2010 is actually several events rolled into one: a professionally conducted photo auction; and a juried photography contest, from which 13 winning entries, selected by a panel of distinguished judges, will be reproduced in a high quality 2010 wall calendar of sophisticated design. Of these entries, 12 will be used to illustrate each of the months, with the 13th chosen to grace the calendar’s cover. The Visions of the Valley™ 2010 Calendar will go on sale later this year.
