MMA calendar photo contest deadline is Nov. 15

September 15, 2011

The deadline for the MMA’s ninth annual municipal calendar photography contest has been extended by two weeks, to Nov. 15.

This year’s theme is “The Heart of Your Community.”

Photographs will be judged primarily on how well they capture the calendar theme. Additional weight will be given to geographic and seasonal breakdown in an attempt to represent each region of the state and all four seasons equally in the calendar.

The top prize will be selected for the front cover, with 13 runners-up chosen for each month of the year and the back cover.

The contest is open to all who wish to participate. Photos must be from a Massachusetts community.

Print entries must be horizontal photographs at least 10X8. Digital files must be horizontal with a resolution of at least 3000 by 2400 pixels.

Each entry must include one to three sentences describing the photo.

Digital entries MUST be sent as attachments to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. .

Prints can be mailed to: Calendar Contest, MMA, One Winthrop Square, Boston, MA 02110
