NH Mutual Bancorp annouces photo contest winners

MEREDITH — New Hampshire Mutual Bancorp has announce the winners of its first photo contest.

Selected photos will be featured in community calendars for Meredith Village Savings Bank, Merrimack County Savings Bank, and MillRiver Wealth Management, as well as the two banks' websites.

Calendar contest winners from the Lakes Region are: Joanna DeCesare of Laconia, Elizabeth Morin of Moultonborough, Linda S. Murphy of Northfield, and Bob Ness of Wolfeboro. Area website contest winners are: Ida Gould of Campton, Christina Kolb of Gilford, Elizabeth Morin of Moultonborough, Bob Ness of Wolfeboro, and Christine Randall of Ashland.

Photos are likely to be featured when new websites launch for MillRiver and Mutual Bancorp in early 2017. Winning photos will also be featured in desk calendars, holiday cards and note cards. Community calendars for each company will be created and distributed at their local branch offices.

"We've had a wonderful response for this contest," noted Debbie Irwin, assistant vice president and marketing programs officer at New Hampshire Mutual Bancorp. "The photos we've seen were amazing in that they capture the unique character of New Hampshire. The calendar contest is a great way to celebrate the communities we serve and allows us to highlight exceptional talent from local artists. We were able to build on a decades-long tradition at Meredith Village Savings and expand it successfully to the other subsidiaries in such a way as to truly celebrate the beauty of NH as well as our local artists."
