Think vintage photos for the annual Village Calendar

Each year, the Montgomery Village Foundation runs a photo contest for our annual calendar, asking residents to highlight their favorite things about living in the Village. These photos usually showcase wildlife, recent events, parks, flower displays and snow scenes.

For the 2016 calendar, and in celebration of Montgomery Village’s 50th Anniversary, we are looking to showcase some of the Village’s unique history through submissions of vintage and historical photographs.

Residents are asked to submit photographs that may recall historical events or programs, early development of the Village, original Village landmarks or any other nostalgic and “uniquely Montgomery Village” scenes. With resident help, the final calendar will showcase the best of the Village over the last 50 years!

The annual calendar contest requires photos that are at least 10”(w) x 8”(h) at 300 dpi (high resolution suitable for commercial printing) in JPG format. Photos must be received by 5 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 2. Two photos will be chosen to represent each month, one large and one small; each entrant can submit up to five photos for the contest.

Photos can be e-mailed to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it., with the appropriate contest name in the subject line. Original photos or those on CD may be dropped off at the MVF Office, 10120 Apple Ridge Road. Please include name, address and phone number for identification purposes. For more information or questions, contact Director of Communications Mike Conroy at 301-948-0110, ext. 2331 or e-mail This email address is being protected from spambots.
