Calling all photographers! The Brick Township Department of Parks & Recreation is hosting a contest for amateur photographers and the winning submission will be used on the cover of the 2011/2012 Parks & Recreation Brochure.

“This contest gives residents of all ages the chance to showcase their talents while showing what make Brick Township so special,” said Mayor Stephen Acropolis.  “I am looking forward to seeing the photos that are submitted.”

Residents are asked to submit nature photographs that showcase the natural beauty of Brick Township.  Photos with human subjects will not be considered.  Only digital photographs will be accepted and may be e-mailed to contest@bricktownship.net. Photographs should be in JPG form and attached to the message. 

Each digital submission should be accompanied by the photographer’s name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, age and number of years living in Brick Township.  It should also include a brief description of the location and subject matter of the photo and one or two sentences about the photographer.   There is a submission limit of 2 photos per person.

The winning photographer must certify that the photo is original and not copyright protected in any way.  The photograph will become the property of the Township of Brick and may be used by the Township in the future.

The deadline for all entries is January 28, 2011.  For more information, call the Brick Recreation office at 732-262-1075.
