Summer Photo Contest

Housatonic Valley Association

Summer Photo Contest!

May 23 – September 21, 2025

Spectacular water views, mesmerizing forest scenes, fascinating wildlife interactions, and intricate plant patterns—the Housatonic Valley is full of natural beauty!

This summer, we want to see YOUR outdoor photos featuring the places, critters, and flora you love.

Grab your cameras and phones and submit photos here, from now until September 21, for the chance to be featured (with credit) on the Housatonic Valley Association website, social pages, and in our e-blasts. We’ll also be giving away some fun, pop-up prizes every month, along with a grand prize in September!

This year’s grand prize is a one-night stay and breakfast for two at the beautiful Manor House Inn in Norfolk, Connecticut!

The only rule? Your photo must be captured in one of the 83 towns that make up the Housatonic River watershed. See a full map of the region here.

Have fun and thank you for your support!
