Photo Contest Winners Revealed Saturday
Realizing that a photo contest deadline coincided with school breaks and the Easter holiday last month, library officials extended it and netted more than quadruple the original number of entries.
On Saturday (May 20), the Plainfield Public Library will hold an exhibition opening to unveil the 69 new photographs of Plainfield that were entered in the contest, "Plainfield in Focus: A Local History Photography Competition.“
Winners of the contest will be announced and the photograph that has been selected to become a new Plainfield postcard will be revealed.The reception is from 1 to 3 p.m. in the Anne Louise Davis Room on the courtyard level of the library, 800 Park Ave., Plainfield. Call Jessica Myers in the Local History Department at (908) 757-1111, ext. 136, for additional information.
All entries will become a permanent part of the library’s Historic Photograph Collection. Historic postcards and photographs from the local History Collections will be shown in juxtaposition with these contemporary images of Plainfield.Funding has been made possible in part by the New Jersey State Council of the Arts, Department of State, a partner agency of the National Endowment for the Arts, through a grant administered by the Union County Division of Cultural and Heritage Affairs.
