FERNDALE, NY — The Sullivan County Visitors Association’s (SCVA) #Sul livanSummer Photo Contest has officially kicked off and will continue through Sunday, July 26.

This promotion ties into the 2015 Travel Guide theme, “Find Yourselfie in the Catskills,” and encourages people to share their summer photos from around Sullivan County. Whether you take a picture of a sunset, a landscape, an action shot, or a selfie, you can share your photo on social media using the hashtag #SullivanSummer. Submissions are accepted on an ongoing basis, and people can vote for their favorites. An overall winner—the 2015 Sullivan Summer Snapshot Champion—will be announced on Wednesday, July 29 in the SCVA’s weekly eblast, and on Facebook on Thursday, July 30.

“We want images that capture the essence of summer in Sullivan,” said Roberta Byron-Lockwood, SCVA president. “It’s not just selfies we’re looking for, but all kinds of pictures that put the beauty, adventure, tradition and the serenity of Sullivan County in summertime on full display.”

The SCVA is accepting submissions now through its Facebook page (www.facebook.com/SullivanCountyCatskills), website (www.scva.net/Sullivan-Summer-Photo-Contest), Twitter (@CatskillConnect), and Instagram (@SullivanCatskills). Users simply post their photos with the hashtag #SullivanSummer, and include details about where the image was taken. Photographers may submit up to one photo per day. All submissions will be posted to the SCVA’s Facebook page, where people can vote by “liking” their favorite photos.
