BRUNSWICK — The Brunswick Village Review Board, in conjunction with the Parks and Recreation Department and The Times Record, will sponsor a photo contest in honor of National Historic Preservation Month. Photographers in sixth grade or older can participate.

Entrants should submit photographs that advance the theme “Brunswick’s Hidden Gems.” Photos should focus on any part of Brunswick’s built environment that the artist considers to be architecturally or historically important, even if its significance is not immediately obvious.

Eight-by-10-inch photos are preferred, but other sizes will be accepted. All entries should be the entrant’s original work and should be matted with either black or white mattes.

Entries may be either black-and-white or color.

The subject matter should be limited to Brunswick structures.

Entries should be submitted to the Brunswick Office of Planning and Development, 28 Federal St., no later than 4:30 p.m. May 3.

All entries will be displayed at the Curtis Memorial Library, and winners will appear in The Times Record.

Judging will take place in early May. Prizes for winning photographs will include items associated with Brunswick history, award certificates and gift certificates from area businesses.

Entry forms for the photo contest are available at the Brunswick Parks and Recreation Department and the Brunswick Planning Office on Federal Street, the Brunswick Visitors Center, and through the art department at Brunswick High School.

For more information, call the Brunswick Planning Office at 725-6660.
