CONTRIBUTED CONTENT — Calling all shutterbugs! State Bank of Southern Utah is seeking photos for a commemorative calendar that will display the beauty of the area.
“We live in one of the most beautiful spots in the world,” the bank’s senior vice president, Tyler Brown, said. “We want to show it off and share the talent of our local photographers.”
Southern Utah is a treasure trove of epic scenery. What captures your interest? Perhaps it’s the sandstone spires of Bryce Canyon, the towering cliffs of Zion or a unique trail off the beaten path. Submit your best photos for entry into the calendar. Your photo could win a cash prize and inspire thousands of customers.
State Bank of Southern Utah produces a handful of calendars that customers have come to love over the years, including Western-themed illustrations and Utah landscape images. This is the second year the bank has held a contest to highlight the local beauty with photos taken by locals.
“We know there are a lot of closet photographers that have great images to share,” Brown said.
Entries are open until Aug. 1. Photographers may submit up to three photos and must own the rights to all images. Click here to submit your photos.
A committee will review the submissions and select the best images for publishing. The top choice will receive a $500 Visa gift card. Customers can pick up a calendar at any State Bank of Southern Utah branch starting in late November.
Along with beautifying homes and offices throughout Southern Utah, Brown hopes the calendar will inspire locals to get outside and explore the area’s many natural wonders. Lush forest, arid desert, colorful cliffs, pristine lakes – there’s plenty to see beyond the iconic landscapes of the national parks.
“There’s all these hidden gems all around us,” he said, adding that he’s still finding new discoveries after living in Utah for more than 50 years.
State Bank of Southern Utah operates more locations than any other financial institution in the area and has flourished by focusing on the needs of its customers. Brown said the bank’s mission is to empower individuals and businesses to take control of their financial destiny, therefore elevating the quality of life for everyone in Southern Utah.
Serving the community since 1957, State Bank of Southern Utah is the only locally owned, operated and headquartered financial institution. The bank holds more than $2.2 billion in assets and operates 16 branches across 14 cities and towns – Cedar City, Circleville, Delta, Escalante, Fillmore, Gunnison, Hurricane, Kanab, Orderville, Parowan, Richfield, Santa Clara, St. George and Tropic – with another location coming soon in Washington City.
