2018 Images of Sanford Calendar
Each year, the Sanford Historic Trust sponsors the Images of Sanford Calendar contest. The theme for the 2018 Images of Sanford calendar was: This is Sanford. From all the entries, thirteen photographs were selected in blind judging by members of the Sanford Camera Club.
Reveal: The winning images and completed Calendar "reveal" and reception will be held at Jeanine Taylor Folk Art on Saturday, October 28th, 6-8 PM. All winning photos will be displayed and a limited number of "early release" Calendars will be available at that time. Photographers who have a winning image are encouraged to attend and will have the opportunity to offer prints of their image for sale if so desired at that time.
The Images of Sanford Calendar is provided free of charge and is supported by our generous sponsors. Be sure to thank them!
