2nd Annual Red Bank Photo Contest Taking Entries Through Sept. 1

RED BANK, NJ — For the second year in a row, the Red Bank Public Library is inviting photographers of all skill levels to submit a photo they think best captures life in Red Bank in 2021.

The second annual "Red Bank Always Beautiful" photo contest is accepting submissions through Sept. 1. Submitted photos must capture Red Bank or the people of Red Bank at a moment in time and must be taken in 2021, but photographers are not limited to Red Bank residents. An entrant can submit as many photos as they like but may only win one prize.

Six winners will be chosen from the following categories:

• Overall winner
• People of Red Bank
• Places of Red Bank
• Youth (under 16 years old)
• People’s Choice
• Video (no more than 5 minutes)

The judges will also select honorable mention winners, and prizes include gift cards and framed copies of their photographs to the six winners. The winners could also be honored with a reception at the library.

The photos will be used in library social media and other communications and will be kept as part of the Local History collections, but the photographer retains ownership of the intellectual property.

Photos should be emailed to redbanklibrary@gmail.com along with a completed application form. For more information on the official rules of the competition, and to download an application form, click here.
