PHOTO/DAN HARVEY

The Hopkinton Independent presents “A Slice of Hopkinton” photo contest, sponsored by BoMain. Readers are encouraged to submit photos of people, places or things in Hopkinton. The Independent staff will select one winner for each issue. The winner will have their submitted photo published in the paper and will receive a $25 gift certificate to BoMain.

All photos must be submitted by individuals 16 and over. The photo must be high resolution, and not submitted for use by any other media outlet. Winners will pick up their gift certificate at BoMain.

This issue’s winner is Dan Harvey for this photo of a “leucistic black-capped chickadee that has been visiting our feeders for the past several weeks. This is a very uncommon color variation similar to albinism but where pigmentation is only partly absent.” To enter next issue’s contest, email your photo along with your name, phone number and description of the photo to Editor@hopkintonindependent.com. Photos with people or pets in them are encouraged. Photos that are not selected as winners might be posted on our website.
