Picture the Beach!
Photo Contest (2018)
On the heels of the success of our Picture the Park! photo contest, we brought Picture the Beach!.
Picture the Beach! focuses on Orchard Beach and its immediate surrounds: Hunter and Twin Islands, the Lagoon, the waterfront.
A panel of judges selected their five favorites from the submissions. Those images were then voted on by the community on our Facebook page, The finalists and winners were displayed in a traveling exhibit at the City Island Nautical Museum and the Huntington Free Library and Reading Room.
