MEREDITH ― Meredith Village Savings Bank announces the winners of its annual community photo contest. Photos representing the greater Lakes Region, Mount Washington Valley and Seacoast areas were selected through an anonymous review process conducted by a committee of MVSB employees, corporators and board members.

The winning images will be featured in MVSB's 2027 Community Calendar. Complimentary wall and tent-style calendars will be available at all MVSB branches later this fall while supplies last. MVSB offices are located in Alton, Ashland, Center Harbor, Exeter, Gilford, Laconia, Melvin Village, Meredith, Moultonborough, North Conway, Plymouth, Portsmouth, Rochester and Wolfeboro.

“Our annual photo contest showcases the incredible variety of scenes that define life in New Hampshire, from breathtaking landscapes and native wildlife to cherished traditions and community gatherings. Judging is completely blind, but every few years one of our bank colleagues submits a photo that is selected. This year, our Communications Manager, Jaron Jenkins, had a winning photo. In addition, this is the first year in several years that each month is represented by a different photographer,” said Cindy Hemeon-Plessner, MVSB senior vice president and chief marketing & experience officer. “This year's winning photographs capture the beauty and character of the regions we serve in unique and memorable ways. We are grateful to all who shared their talent with us and look forward to featuring these outstanding images in our 2027 Community Calendar."
