Clearfield, PA – CNB Bank is pleased to announce the launch of a 2026 CNB Bank Calendar Photography Contest with the theme “America Through the Lens: 250 Years of Beauty in the Wild”. This contest invites photographers from our communities to celebrate the nation’s natural beauty by capturing photos of landscapes, wildlife, and scenery that reflect the richness of the wilderness within the wonderful areas in which we live.
Photographers of all skill levels, from novices to seasoned professionals, are encouraged to unleash their creativity and capture the untamed beauty of America throughout the seasons. Focusing on the communities served by the Bank, this initiative celebrates the unique perspectives of residents as seen through their lens. The submission window runs June 1 through July 23, 2025. On August 15, twelve winners, including one Best of Show, and several Honorable Mentions will be chosen. Winning photographs will be featured in CNB Bank’s 2026 wall calendars, which will be distributed to customers in the fall.
The contest was established by CNB to showcase local talent and highlight the communities where the Bank operates through the lens of local photographers. In 2023, the Bank formed the Investing in the Arts Committee, an employee-led group dedicated to raising awareness for and supporting the local theatre, music, and arts community.
“The Calendar Photography Contest is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate both the natural beauty of our country and the artistic talent of so many wonderful photographers within our communities,” said Michael Peduzzi, President and CEO of CNB Bank. “As 2026 will mark 250 years of American history, we invite photographers of all skill levels to share their unique perspectives and showcase the landscapes, wildlife, and scenery that make our region special. The calendar allows us to enjoy these photographers’ talents and their wonderful images throughout the year. We are proud to support the arts through initiatives like this and look forward to seeing the incredible images our community members capture.”
Photo submissions are being accepted on CNB Bank’s website beginning June 1. Each participant can enter up to two photos. For full contest details and photo guidelines, visit www.CNBBank.bank and click on the calendar contest ad on the homepage.
