What is it?

Washington Trust has partnered with Rhode Island Monthly to bring you a monthly photo essay contest. We want to see and read about a particular Rhode Island place, beach, restaurant, festival or landmark that is special to you and then we want to share it with our readers.

How do I enter?
Beginning Monday, August 1st, 2011, through Friday, October 12, 2012, you can upload a photo along with a 50-word description on why you chose the image and what you love about it. Click on the submissions tab to register to enter the contest.
Winners must be able to provide a high resolution photo for publishing in Rhode Island Monthly. If unable to do so, a new winner will be chosen.

Are there prizes?

  • Winning photo and essay featured in a two-thirds page ad in Rhode Island Monthly
  • Photo and essay featured in all Washington Trust branches throughout Rhode Island
