New Bedford Guide Your Guide to New Bedford and South Coast, MA
According to The Atlantic Cities Magazine, New Bedford is the 7th Most Artistic City in America. The statistics show that New Bedford has more than twice as many artists than the average city in America. Only Santa Fe, San Francisco, New York, Los Angeles, Santa Cruz and Danbury have a higher average of artists than New Bedford. Photography is an art and a thriving business/hobby in the area. New Bedford Guide wants to promote and support the photographers that explore our beautiful region.
NewBedfordGuide.com is offering our Facebook cover photo to one photographer each month through a free contest. This is valuable real estate for any photographer, because the New Bedford Guide facebook page reaches over 20,000 people in New Bedford, or over 77,000 people in Massachusetts and Rhode Island. All photographers will get to promote their work to the masses with one photographer gaining additional exposure by being awarded our Facebook cover for a full month. The winning photo will have the photographers name and optional contact information watermarked on it.
