Now and Then: Throwback Thursday Photo Exchange Submission Guidelines
We’d love to include your photos in the Throwback Thursday Photo Exchange!
All photos sent to the Heritage Alliance will be displayed in an exhibit in the Chester Inn Museum in September of this year.
Criteria:
Photos must be from the Northeast Tennessee or Southwest Virginia region.
Photos must be at least 20 years old or older.
How To:
Take an old photo and find the exact location where it was taken, or as close to the exact location as you can get. (Please remember, safety comes first!)
Hold the old photo up in front of the modern landscape and take a picture of the old against the new. (Note: It may help to use just a portion of the picture, like one half of it.)
In order to not damage the older photos, you may want to scan them and print the image off on something more durable like cardstock and use that version to create your Now and Then photo.
Once you have your Now and Then photo, please email it to the Heritage Alliance online casino at info@heritageall.org. You can also post it to our Facebook wall with the hashtag #heritagetbt. Photos that are emailed to us will also be shared on the Heritage Alliance’s Facebook and Instagram accounts.
We would love for you to share these photos on your own Facebook and Instagram accounts with the hashtag #heritagetbt. This way, we can track your photos and view them, but only photos that are emailed to us or posted on the Heritage Alliance Facebook page will be included in the exhibit come September.
Information to Include with Your Photo Submission(s):
- Your Name
- Best Way to Contact You (email or phone) about the September Exhibit
- Location of the Photo
- Date of Original Photo
- Any Important Landmarks
- Any Story or Significant Information You’d Like to Share about the Photo.
Thank you for participating in our Throwback Thursday project! We look forward to seeing what you have to share!
