First National Bank began asking its customers last fall to submit their very best original, scenic Maine shots. All photographers are welcome to enter the contest – professionals and amateurs, Maine residents and visitors.  

“Every year, we are amazed by the stunning images captured by our customers,” said Susan Norton, executive vice president. “Designing custom calendars that showcase their creativity alongside the breathtaking landscapes of our state is a rewarding experience for everyone involved. We can’t wait to unveil our calendars this fall.”
