Custom House Celebrates 125th Anniversary with Photo Contest and Cash Prizes
Photographers from across the globe have long been drawn to the Custom House’s architectural majesty, and for good reason—with its stately archways and sweeping wrap-around porch set against the tropical landscape and horizon, the ornate, four-story red brick museum, which is stewarded by the Key West Art & Historical Society, provides spectacular images for just about anyone with a camera or iPhone. Now, with a $250 cash prize and tickets for two to the “Back In Time” fundraiser, it will provide that and more for three lucky people.
Hosted virtually, the free-entry competition takes place on The Society’s Facebook page. One winner from each of three separate categories—Color, Black & White, and Nighttime—will be determined by the amount of “likes” their uploaded image receives. Ownership of all images will remain with the photographer, though KWAHS may post the winning entries on The Society’s website and Facebook page and will also include some of the submitted and winning images in press releases. Entrants are welcome to submit as many images of the exterior or interior of the building as they like until November 9th, when the contest officially closes.
