MVSB recently announced the winners of their annual community photo contest. Photos representing the Lakes Region, White Mountains and Seacoast areas were selected through a blind review process by MVSB employees.

Complimentary calendars are expected to arrive in all 13 branch offices this fall where community members can come in to pick up desk tent or wall styles. Winning photos will also be featured on the website, social media and notecards throughout 2024.

"Highlighting professional and amateur artists who celebrate the people, environment and overall beauty of New Hampshire is one way we show that MVSB cares about the communities we serve," said Cindy Hemeon-Plessner, MVSB Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing & Experience Officer. "We received over five hundred truly beautiful and unique photographs this year, and we are grateful to everyone who participated."
