Sculpture Winter Photo Contest returns
The Perrysburg Sculpture Walk invites photographers of all skill levels to take part in the 5th Annual Perrysburg Sculpture Walk Winter Photo Contest, celebrating the unique ways winter transforms public art.
Located along the perimeter and entryway of Woodlands Park, 429 E. Boundary St., the Sculpture Walk offers an ever-changing outdoor gallery where snow, ice, light, and seasonal atmosphere bring new visual dimensions to the sculptures.
Participants are encouraged to submit images that capture the sculptures covered in snow or otherwise reflecting the winter season and its effect on the artwork. The contest is open through February, with a deadline for entries on Saturday, Feb 28. Winners will be notified by March 7, and the overall winner will receive a $100 gift card to Kohne Camera in Perrysburg.
A reception will be held to honor the winner along with first-, second- and third-place recipients. Winning images will be featured in area newspapers and shared on social media.
