Brookville Chamber seeking photos for updated website

BROOKVILLE — The Brookville Area Chamber of Commerce is seeking photos of Brookville from the perspective of those who live in the community.

Director Jamie Popson said the chamber has been hard at work updating their website, trying to improve their layout and design, as well as make it easier to edit and give people more information about various Brookville businesses.

“You get the businesses’ address, phone number and the link to their website. That’s all the information that you get. I think it would be beneficial to the businesses and the people viewing the website to have more information on the business: a description, photos and what could they expect from the business,” Popson said.

She said she wants to see the Brookville Chamber become a hub for information of things going on in the community.

She said when the effort to update the website began, she found that the chamber did not have any photos of each member listed. She said she has been reaching out to professional photographers as well as community members to get photos of the town.

“We are looking for photos from people when they are hanging out with their friends, taking a walk with their dog, photos of the local restaurants, the recreational things to do. We are looking for everything: scenery, businesses, architecture, recreation, things to do, events, all of it. We are looking for anything that attracts people to Brookville,” Popson said.

She said there is a link on the chamber website for a photo contest. She said there will be prizes, which will be announced at a later date. The photos will be used on the chamber’s website and social media platforms, and credit will be given where applicable.

Popson said the chamber is also working on a community calendar, which will feature submitted photos. She is also looking for minimal sponsorships for the calendars as well.

Popson also mentioned some upcoming events the chamber has planned. The Brookville Chamber’s annual awards luncheon will be held on April 21 at the Pine Creek Golf Course. She said they are accepting nominations for the Large Business, Small Business, and President’s Cup (non-profit organization) awards.
