Your Greenwich Point Photo Could Inspire Our 2025 Hand-painted Ornament
All Submissions due by April 4, 2025
The Friends of Greenwich Point has kicked off its 8th annual Holiday Ornament Photo Contest! We are looking for a beautiful photo of a location that makes you think of the Point that can serve as the template for our 2025 hand-painted holiday ornament. This will be our 13th ornament in the series - the past 12 ornaments are pictured here. We'd like to feature an image that has not been used before!
Some potential ideas for places around the Point that have not been used (but certainly not the only ones) are: shell beach, a view of the Point from the water, and the picnic area. When submitting images please think about how the image will look wrapped around the ornament.
If you have a photo that you would like to enter please email it to info@friendsofgreenwichpoint.org by the ENTRY DEADLINE of April 4, 2025. Please include your name and contact information. We will select one photograph to be used as inspiration for our 2025 ornament. The winner will have their name recognized in advertising for the ornament and will also receive a FREE ornament.
Some additional rules:
If you are submitting a photo you MUST own the rights to the image and agree to allow the Friends of Greenwich Point full use of it. All images must be high resolution and in color.The Friends of Greenwich Point's Board of Directors at its sole discretion can cancel this contest at any time.
