- The winning photo.
When the Westport-Weston Chamber of Commerce put out a call this winter for photographers to submit local shots, one of which would eventually grace the chamber”™s annual guide and map, more than 600 photos poured in.
Marc Litvinoff won the competition with his photo of the Levitt Pavilion, upriver from the grass of Grace Salmon Park. The photo will be on the front cover of the chamber”™s 2015-16 visitors guide/membership directory and map.
“We had a great response to the contest and received well over 600 photos from scores of residents,” said Matthew Mandell, executive director of the chamber, in a statement. “We had to make some tough choices; there were so many we could have used, but in the end we felt this one said ”˜Westport.”™
“The redesigned Levitt Pavilion is the new iconic structure in town and being one of the first publications to show it off helped make the decision,” he said.
“I’m thrilled that the Westport-Weston Chamber of Commerce has selected my image for their publication,” Litvinoff said in the announcement. “Westport is a beautiful town which offers fantastic photo opportunities, and I’m pleased to share one of my images.”
The guide is now in production and will be released in early May.
The chamber said it plans to hold another contest for its next guide in two years.
