PRESS RELEASE/PSA FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE  # 4 of 7 
 
What: Capture the Spirit of Coastal Douglas County Photo Contest
When: December 1, 2009
Where: Mindpower Gallery, Reedsport Branch Library and other local outlets
Who: Coastal Arts & Business Alliance
Contact: Theresa Hart 541-662-0639
 
The Coastal Douglas Arts & Business Alliance is looking for photographs that 'Capture the Spirit of Coastal Douglas County.' In the latest fundraiser for the Reedsport Branch Library's renovation project, CDABA is hosting an amateur photography contest in Reedsport beginning December 2, 2009.
 
A call to photographers to submit amateur photographs is being made for this juried contest for photos whose composition is of the Coastal Douglas area between Scottsburg and the coast from Gardiner to Winchester Bay.
 
Entry forms for the contest will be available at Mindpower Gallery, Reedsport Branch Library, local banks, the Reedsport/Winchester Bay Chamber of Commerce, Reedsport school offices, and local businesses. Prizes will be awarded by a panel of judges who will determine the top photos at 5pm on January 6 at Mindpower Gallery.
 
Submissions must be delivered to the Reedsport Branch Library no later than January 6 at 5pm. Photos must be 8" x 10," have a protective matting and be presentation ready.
 
The winning photos will be announced and displayed at the Mindpower Gallery on January 8, 2010 from 10am to noon and between 5pm and 7pm. Refreshments will be served during the evening unveiling.
 
The top three winners will take home a portion of the proceeds from auctioning off the winning photos at an upcoming event. The top ten winners will be printed in a 'Capture the Spirit of Coastal Douglas County' book comprised of the winners from this annual photography Contest. This book will be published upon the completion of library renovation project and will be available for sale. The overall winning photo will be matted and framed for free by Mindpower Gallery. Upon written agreement, the winning photos will also become part of a photo database to be used by the Reedsport/Winchester Bay Chamber of Commerce's Advertising Committee for future Coastal Douglas area advertising.
 
CDABA and the Reedsport Branch Library have partnered together to raise $350,000 for the library renovation project that is expected to be completed in 2014. Built in 1983 in partnership with the City of Reedsport, Douglas County Library System and the Coast Douglas community, the Reedsport Branch Library has received regular cleaning and maintenance. Due to some design deficiencies and normal wear, the library is in need of repair particularly to the solarium, lighting upgrades, window replacements, and new siding and trim.
 
For more information about the photo contest or the library renovation project, contact Sue Cousineau at the Reedsport Branch Library at 541-271-3500.
