Pomham Rocks Lighthouse photo and art contest

As part of a year-long celebration of the 150th Jubilee of East Providence’s historic landmark, the Friends of Pomham Rocks Lighthouse is sponsoring a photography and art contest.

Entry is free. Entrants can submit photos (black and white or color) or pieces of artwork (colored or graphite pencil, ink, pastel, charcoal, or other) depicting the Pomham Rocks Lighthouse.

Anyone age 18 or older may submit an entry. Participants may submit up to two photographs or two visual arts entries via email at lighthouse1871@cox.net. Submit entry as a jpeg or pdf file. A committee of five judges, including a professional photographer, a professional illustrator and members of Friends of Pomham Rocks Lighthouse will review entries and select the top three winners in the photograph and the visual arts categories.

Winners will be notified in April. Prizes include one-year memberships in the Friends of Pomham Rocks Lighthouse, trips to the lighthouse, and Pomham Rocks Lighthouse merchandise.

All submissions will be considered for publication in a 2022 wall calendar and for use on lighthouse gift shop merchandise

Complete contest rules are posted on the Friends of Pomham Rocks Lighthouse website, pomhamrockslighthouse.org. The entry period ends March 30.
