SVMC Sponsoring Active Lifestyle Photo Contest
BENNINGTON, Vt. — Community members are invited to submit photos of Vermonters living an active lifestyle for the newly renovated Southwestern Vermont Medical Center Orthopedics practice on Dewey Street in Bennington.
"Our health is affected by the amount of activity we incorporate into our daily lives," said Dr. Jonathan Cluett, physician at SVMC Orthopedics. "We are proud of our role in helping patients maintain their favorite activities even after a significant injury and throughout their lives."
Participants should photograph people being active in Bennington County and its surrounding communities. Examples of activities participants may photograph include hiking, biking, running, or team sports. Entrants can submit photos for consideration electronically through April 1.
Entries will be judged by a panel based on creativity, photographic quality, genuineness, connection to local community, and relation to healthy behaviors. Preference will be given to photos with a connection to the local area, including Southwestern Vermont, Western New York and Northern Massachusetts.
Winners from two categories, Youth (18 years and younger) and Adult (19 years and older), will be honored. The top prize is $300. Photographs will be featured at SVHC's newly renovated orthopedics practice on Dewey Street in Bennington.
