Vernon historical society plans photography exhibit

VERNON — The Vernon Township Historical Society, in conjunction with Vernon Township High School Photography Department and its Photography students, will sponsor a Photography Exhibit entitled “Vernon Through the Years.”

The exhibit will be held at the Vernon Senior Citizens Center on April 12 and 13. On April 12, the hours will be from 5 to 9 p.m. On April 13, they are from 1 to 5 p.m.

The society is seeking from amateur and professional photographer submissions from on anything Vernon Township, whether it is landscape, architectural, portrait, or fine art photography. Photographs must be mounted and be a minimum of 8 X 10 inches in size. They need not be framed.

The Vernon Township Historical Society is a non-profit organization that raises funds for its various presentations and programs that are often free to the public, scholarships, hands-on workshop, and other amenities for the general public. The Society also is asking photographers to donate a photograph for a fundraising silent auction.

Donations are voluntary and photographers need not donate to submit their work for exhibit. There is a maximum submission of five photographs per photographer. Photographs may be black and white, color, hand colored, digital or chemical. Vintage photographs are accepted, but they must be original works by the person submitting them. Submissions are free of charge, but the subject matter must relate to Vernon Township. Ribbons will be given for noteworthy photographs.

To submit photographs, contact the Society at 973-764-6545 or email the Society at vernonhistoricalsociety@gmail.com. The deadline for submission is April 4.
