After I posted a slew of gorgeous weather-related photos recently on “06880,” several readers floated the idea of producing a book filled with Westport scenes.

The current Chamber of Commerce guide is 5 years old.
The Westport Weston Chamber of Commerce is looking for a cover photo for its new Membership/Visitor’s Guide.
Inside will be an upgraded pull-out map, a focus on our ever-changing restaurant scene, and a section highlighting the arts.
The cover — well, that’s up to you.

Runner-up photos will be used throughout the guide. Submissions can be emailed to: contest@westportwestonchamber.com (subject line: “Photo contest”). The deadline is February 15.
