PLUMSTED — The Plumsted Township Council for the Arts is encouraging local photographers to enter its photo contest. Photos should be of the Plumsted landscape or of the immediate surrounding area. The photos should capture what living here means to the individual.
All photos should be 8 by 10 inches, color or black and white, and suitable for exhibition. The photos must be mounted or framed, and labeled on the back with the following information: name of photographer, address, telephone number, title of image, and approximate date and location the photo was taken.
Photos must be accompanied by an official entry form. Forms can be picked up at the Plumsted Township municipal clerk’s office, 121 Evergreen Road; the Plumsted branch of the Ocean County Library, Evergreen Road; or by calling the arts council at (609) 758-2241, ext., 144.
