Fall Photo Contest submissions

October 30, 2017

We recently held our third-annual Fall Photo Contest, this year with the theme “Water, Everywhere.” Participants were invited to submit photos that depicted water, in any form (rivers, lakes, snow, ice, mist, dew, etc.). This year we have two age categories, Youth (18 & under) and Adult (19+), and two winners will be selected from each category. The winners will be selected by the public, with voting happening on our Facebook page. See all of the photos in the gallery below, and please visit our Facebook page to view the album and vote for your favorite (by “liking” or otherwise “reacting” to the photos)! While you are there, be sure to like and follow Hilltown Land Trust to get all our latest news.

We were overwhelmed by the quality and quantity of submissions and can’t wait to celebrate them with the participants. All of the photos will be displayed at the Bullitt Reservation through the winter. Please join us for our opening reception “Photos and Pie!” on Sunday afternoon, December 10th, from 3:00-4:30.
