Enter the 2026 CCB Calendar Photo Contest!
We want YOUR photo in our next CCB calendar! At CCB, we live by our motto “Where Community Counts” — and we also believe in the power of choosing to Grow Local with CCB.
This year’s theme is “The People and Places of CCB.” We’re looking for photos that celebrate the spirit of our communities — the people, businesses, and organizations that make Cattaraugus, Chautauqua, and Erie Counties thrive.
If your photo is chosen, it won’t just appear in our 2026 CCB Calendar — your featured business or organization will also be highlighted as part of what makes our region so special.
Who Can Enter?
- Open to all photographers — amateur or professional.
- Must live in Cattaraugus, Chautauqua, or Erie Counties.
- Photos must be taken in one of these counties.
- Photos should focus on local businesses and organizations who are CCB customers — the very people and places that help us all Grow Local.
- Under 18? You can still enter (with parental consent if your photo is selected).
- Sorry, CCB employees are not eligible.
