Entries are being accepted through August 31 for the annual Erie Canalway Photo Contest. Winning photos will be featured in the 2019 Erie Canalway calendar, which is available free of charge in December.
Amateur and professional photographers are invited to submit images in four contest categories: On the Water, Along the Trail, Canal Communities, and Classic Canal. Images must be taken within the Erie Canalway National Heritage Corridor, which spans 524 miles across the full expanse of upstate New York. It encompasses the Erie, Cayuga-Seneca, Oswego and Champlain canals and their historic alignments, as well as more than 230 canal communities.
Entries must be in horizontal format and will be judged on the basis of creativity, photographic quality, and effectiveness in conveying the beauty and/or unique character of the Canalway in one of the contest categories. Winners will be announced no later than October 19.
