And the winner is…

Congratulations to:

David Wilding, and his entry “Veteran’s Day Tribute”

 

Ohio’s preservation community has spoken, and after hundreds of votes, David Wilding’s entry is the winner of our Preservation Month Photo Contest! Look for David’s image of the mural on the next cover of Revitalize Ohio (which, by the way, you can view in downtown Amherst).

As an added bonus, David will receive a complimentary one-night stay at the Mead House Bed & Breakfast in Nelsonville.

Thanks to everyone who entered their images, and to everyone who voted for their favorite. And thanks to Sue Maxwell at the Mead House for supplying the bonus stay!

While the 2013 Preservation Month Photo Contest is many months away, you never know where or when you’ll find that winning image. Keep your camera handy, capture those evocative historic preservation images, and enter your best photo next year.

Voting now open for the Preservation Month Photo Contest!

We’re pleased to announce the three finalists of our Preservation Month Photo Contest. Congratulations to:

David Wilding, and his entry “Veteran’s Day Tribute”

 

 

Now that you’ve taken a peek at their photos, think about which one best captures the essence of Preservation Month, and get ready to vote here!

Voting will continue through Wednesday, May 30. We’ll announce the winner of the 2012 Preservation Month Photo Contest on Thursday, May 31, to close out Preservation Month.

With Ohio photographic fame and a Revitalize Ohio cover image on the line, the stakes are high! Good luck to our finalists!
