Happy Preservation Month! Enter our Preservation Month photo contest!

Happy Preservation Month to you! Each May preservation organizations across the country, including Heritage Ohio, celebrate historic preservation with special events and activities. Our Preservation Month 2012 Photo Contest aims to highlight our state’s heritage while recognizing the talented photographers that capture the heritage.
Have you submitted your entry yet? If not, click your winning image and go to www.heritageohio.org/programs/2012-photo-contest/ to submit your entry.
We’ll accept entries through Friday, May 4, choose our finalists, and open the online voting for the winner on May 9, when we open our Annual Conference in Toledo (another great Preservation Month activity you should check out if you can). Online voting closes on May 16 and we’ll announce the winning entry on May 18.
Some guidelines to remember:

• The subject matter of the photo must be physically located in Ohio
• Judging criteria for choosing photo finalists include originality, subject matter, and artistic merit
• We encourage photos that bring attention to current issues in preservation and revitalization
• We also encourage photos depicting historic buildings in use

Again this year, we’ll feature the winning entry on the cover of Revitalize Ohio, so here’s your chance for Ohio photographic fame. Good luck!
