United Synagogue Calendar Art Photo Contest
It’s that time of year again – time for us at the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism to ask members of our affiliated congregations to enter our calendar photo contest.
We would like the next calendar – that’s the 5770 (2009-2010) issue, if you can believe it! - to be about our synagogues in general. It will feature photographs of of anything in or around your synagogue, as long as your synagogue is an affiliated member of United Synagogue. Pictures of your ark, parochet, bimah, yad, or Torah mantle; interior or exterior pictures of your building, stained glass, wall hangings, or other art; and photographs any ritual objects all are welcome. Use your imagination! We will accept as many photographs from one synagogue as you’d like to send us. Keep in mind, though, that not only should the subject of the photo be beautiful but the photograph, too, should be of high quality. The higher quality the photo, more likely it is to win the contest.
