Looking for Town Event and Site Photos

 

Attention all amateur and professional photographers!

Thank you to those who contributed photos to the second edition of the Trumbull Town Calendar that was published last fall by the Trumbull Academic Challenge for Excellence (ACE) Foundation as well as to those who have expressed interest in contributing photos for the future.

Planning for the third edition is underway and this is to invite you to submit photos for consideration. We would be delighted to receive your high quality photos that capture your perspective of Trumbull's many scenes and events in all seasons. With an emphasis on horizontal formats and resolution of at least 300 dpi (for an 8 x 10 photo), we welcome submissions for potential publication in the next edition, which will be published next summer.

Following is a list of events and sites for potential use that you may have in your photo inventory or that you may wish to capture in the months ahead. We are also including a list of events and scenes that have appeared in the first two editions. We welcome additional photos of these events/sites, perhaps from different perspectives and/or different seasons. However, preference for photos to appear in the third edition will probably be given to new scenes and events.

Please send us your favorite photos throughout the year via e-mail
(mlord1@charter.net) as a jpeg or reduced file or via U.S mail to Trumbull ACE Foundation Photos, c/o Marilyn Lord, 62 Driftwood Lane, Trumbull, CT 06611.

If you have any questions, please contact me at mlord1@charter.net or at my home at 261-1857.

Sincerely,
Marilyn Lord, Photography Editor
Trumbull ACE Foundation Board Member
