SULLIVAN COUNTY, NY – September. 22, 2014 – The Sullivan County Visitors Association has announced its first ever Fall Foliage Photo Contest, where visitors and residents are encouraged to submit their very best, most autumn-centric photos of the Sullivan County Catskills. Submissions are being accepted through SCVA.net and the SCVA’s Facebook page.

“The contest allows our own residents and visitors to showcase their own view of the Sullivan County Catskills’ amazing fall colors,” said SCVA President Roberta Byron-Lockwood. “The images are meant to represent everyone’s individual experience and creative vision, whether they are pumpkin-picking, hiking, shopping, or flying across a zip line. We can’t wait to see what folks come up with.”

Foliage-related selfies are welcomed, as are pictures that highlight Sullivan County businesses or landmarks in a creative way. The Fall Foliage Photo Contest runs through Oct. 27, and the photos with the most online votes will win one of several tourism-related prizes donated through SCVA’s membership. The winners will be announced on Oct. 28.

Photos must be taken in Sullivan County during autumn 2014, and include the location, date, and photographer’s name.

Visit SCVA.net/Fall-Foliage to learn more about the contest, the region’s journey toward full foliage color, and other Foliage Fun that is happening in the Sullivan County Catskills, where foliage is exhibiting strong green colors, sprinkled with yellow and rust highlights, and the occasional spot of orange.

The SCVA is also on the hunt for residents who would like to join the SC Peep Squad and submit regular foliage reports to facebook.com/SullivanCountyCatskills.
