DAMARISCOTTA — First National Bank is proud to announce that the bank's ninth annual Customer Photography Contest is now underway for the purpose of selecting images to be featured in their custom 2017 desk calendar. Fourteen color photographs will be chosen from all entries received by 5 p.m. on July 1, 2016, and will appear in the desk and wall calendars given to customers beginning in November. All customers of First National Bank are encouraged to participate, and each winning entry will be awarded a $100 cash prize.

"We have heard nothing but rave reviews for the custom calendars we have produced since 2009, so we're very happy to continue this tradition," said Susan Norton, Executive Vice President at First National Bank in a news release. "The only participation restriction is that you be a current customer of First National Bank," continued Norton. "If you are not yet a customer, this would be a picture perfect time to become one!"

Scenic Maine photographs set in and around the banking communities of First National Bank are sought. Entries are limited to two digital photos per person. Professional and amateur photographers, as well as employees and their family members, are all encouraged to enter. Official entry details may be obtained at any of the sixteen branch offices of First National Bank or by visiting our website at TheFirst.com. Contest winners will be notified by August 5, 2016.
