The Essex Heritage Photo Contest encourages community members of all ages to head outdoors and capture the living landscapes, unique places, and iconic vistas located in their backyard. Each year, photographers of all levels submit stunning images of the Essex National Heritage Area for a chance to win prizes including cash as well as gift cards and complimentary memberships which are generously donated by local businesses and organizations.
The 2024 winners have been selected! All winning photographs will be on display in the Salem Armory Regional Visitor Center for 8 weeks starting in May. Please join us for a special reception to celebrate the winners on Wednesday, February 12th starting at 5:30 pm. The reception is free to attend and all are welcome, but don’t forget to RSVP. Stay tuned for information on the 2025 contest, details forthcoming.
