The WBID and the Westfield Camera Club would like to thank all who submitted photos to our first “Faces and Places of Westfield Photo Contest”. The contest was a collaborative effort between the WBID and the Westfield Camera Club as a component of the “Windows of Westfield Project”.

For the month of May, the 75 entries we received will be displayed in the store fronts at 170, 142, 105, 94, 92, and 46 Elm Street as well as 30 Main Street. Abe Reisman, former president of the NECCC, was in town and selected three of the four winning entries. For the fourth award we are looking to the community to judge the “People’s Choice Award”. The winner will receive a $100 gift certificate to be used in any WBID member business.
