WALDORF, Md., Aug. 15, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Community Bank of the Chesapeake continues its annual calendar contest, but this year with a little twist. This year’s concept revolves around the idea of “Community Bank of ___.” Participants are encouraged to take pictures around the community which will represent one of the unlimited possibilities that can be used to fill in the blank to the phrase. This contest will spotlight the many aspects to the word community and visually show what community means to different people.

“We are very excited about this year’s Calendar theme, ‘Community Bank of ____,’” said Diane Hicks, Vice President, Director of Marketing at Community Bank of the Chesapeake. “We believe this contest will spark creativity and give contestants the opportunity to capture the essence of community.”

Participants can submit their photos from August 15, 2018 to September 9, 2018. Community Bank of the Chesapeake’s marketing team will select 12 photos that encompass the meaning behind community. The calendar will also include a cover photo and a “People’s Choice” photo, voted on at the end of submission period.

Winners will be awarded a prize of a $50 gift card and wood block of their selected image, to applaud their accomplishment. Not only do winners of the contest get to be featured in Community Bank’s 2019 calendar, they will also be featured on the Bank’s website, social media channels and digital displays.
