Vischer Ferry Photo Contest Returns With a Winter Theme
The Town of Clifton Park is calling on photographers to capture Vischer Ferry Nature and Historic Preserve in its winter form. The annual photo contest opens for entries this fall, with three divisions and a new seasonal theme.
Submission Window: September 1 through December 28, 2026. Photographers can enter the Junior, Amateur, or Professional division by emailing their winter shots of the preserve to photocontest@cliftonpark.org.
The 600-acre preserve runs along the Mohawk River within the Vischer Ferry Historic District. Its trails pass wetlands, the remains of the old Erie Canal, and open fields that take on a different character once the snow settles in.
Voting happens in two rounds. The first round runs January 4 through 11, 2027, on the contest's Facebook page, and the final round takes place during Winterfest.
Full contest rules are posted at CliftonParkNY.gov. Questions can be directed to 518-371-6667 or photocontest@cliftonpark.org.
