LUDLOW, Vt. – The photo calendar contest is a new event sponsored by the Friends of the Fletcher Memorial Library. The Friends are developing a 2027 calendar that will feature photos of Ludlow and be sold in the fall of 2026. All proceeds will be used to support the library. We are looking for photos that showcase some aspects of Ludlow: our beautiful mountains, lakes, flowers, wildlife, and quaint village are all ideas that come to mind. Ludlow is beautiful in all four seasons.
The competition is open to all amateur photographers. We welcome photos from our residents, as well as residents of neighboring towns, second-home owners, and visitors who love our town as much as we do.
An independent panel of judges will prescreen all submitted photos to narrow them down to 24 semifinalist photos. The 24 semifinalist photos will be voted on by the public during the week of Aug. 10-15. Photos will be displayed at Fletcher Memorial Library, and ballots can be obtained from the front desk.
The rules of the contest are as follows. All submissions must depict some aspect of Ludlow. The photo is required to be an 8-by-10-inch nonglossy photo in landscape orientation. It should be unframed and unmounted. Only one photo is accepted per photographer. Photos can be dropped off at Fletcher Memorial Library, or mailed to Fletcher Memorial Library, ATTN: Friends of the Library, 88 Main Street, Ludlow, VT 05149. Photos must be submitted no later than July 13.
