Winning Photograph of Providence Rhode Island Announced

PROVIDENCE, RI – Rhode Island SEO firm Sidewalk Branding Company names Providence photo contest winner – Cesar Cruz (Student at Rhode Island’s New England Tech) for his outstanding photograph of Rhode Island’s Downcity Providence.

Cruz’s winning photograph submission was in response to Sidewalk Branding’s call-out for a photograph depicting Providence Rhode Island’s Downcity or Skyline to use as part of their website redesign. News of the contest quickly spread  through social media and was picked up by New England Tech GMW (Graphic, Multimedia, and Website Design) instructor department chair Rick Mitchell – who shared the opportunity with his students at the college.

“Instead of spending hours walking all over the city taking photographs with my Droid phone – I’m pretty low tech in this department – I decided to give crowdsourcing a shot for the picture” says Sidewalk Branding’s founder Chris Sheehy. “With only one week to act – I wasn’t exactly expecting a flood of images to hit my inbox, but of the dozen or so that were received, Cesar’s immediately stood out. Its composition and depiction of the city will be a great complement to our website theme. Being it’s a black & white image that immediately blended into our theme was a real plus. It was exactly what we were looking for” adds Sheehy.

As payment for the image, Sidewalk Branding promised the winning artist a public “thank you” for their work. “Stay focused on that lens Cesar – you’ve got great talent” avers Sheehy.
