Calling all photography aficionados!

We’ve been so inspired by the images you’ve shared that we’ve decided to hold our first-ever Fishers Island Conservancy Community Photo Contest, where YOU pick the winning photo!

Here’s how it works:

  1. Snap or select a photograph you’ve taken, within the past year, showcasing Fishers Island’s natural splendor — whether that be a sunrise, snow-covered trail, shoreline or shorebird.
  2. Email your photo to ficonservancy06390@gmail.com with the subject line “Photo Contest 2021 — (your name)” by June 25th.
  3. FIConservancy will select and name the finalists.
  4. Then you will vote for the winning image!

We’ll announce the top photograph at our Annual “Sunset on the Beach” event on July 17th (save the date and stay tuned for more info!). In addition to bragging rights, the finalists and winner will receive prizes and be showcased on our website, email and social media.

We can’t wait to see your pics!
