Announcing our “Fall Foliage” Photo Contest!

Since this week is the peak of fall foliage and color around the northeast, we’d love to see your stunning pictures! Send us images of trees in full color, festive pumpkins, or anything that’s quintessentially fall! You can enter up to three photos.

This year, we’ll be doing things a little differently. The photo contest will run on three platforms–Facebook, Instagram, and email! You can find us on Facebook at Connecticut Fund for the Environment and on Instagram at CFE.SavetheSound. There will be two categories: professional and amateur, and special fall-themed adventures as the prizes for each!

The contest runs from October 6 to October 15, with voting from October 16 to October 21st!

If you want to check out the best places in Connecticut to find fall foliage, Yankee Foliage has an awesome interactive map with live updates and CT DEEP’s website offers info on the best hikes in the state.
