Tourism Development (DTTD). “We want photos from each region of our state that demonstrate
the colorful and amazing views, as well as all the outdoor activities to enjoy, such as corn mazes and
harvest festivals, or visits to the pumpkin patch or a mountain or lakeside hike. Show us how much
there is to love in fall in New Hampshire!”
The contest will run from September 21st – October 31st. Participants can upload their photos to the
contest website at fall.visitnh.com. Visit the website for the official rules, to upload pictures, and

Winners will be chosen by a panel of judges based on creativity, quality, and originality of
submission. Winners will be selected and announced the first week of November, 2011.
“We encourage all of our industry partners around the state to promote the contest to their guests by
sharing information on their web sites or email newsletters, or through social media,” said Harnois.
“We also want everyone to know that our foliage tracker is now available online at
visitnh.gov/foliage and visitors can view peak leaf peeping days by region. So grab your camera, see
the sights, and celebrate the fall season in New Hampshire!”
