The popular Foliage Photo Friday competition has reached its fourth week, featuring three stunning autumn photographs submitted by local residents. Viewers are now invited to vote for their favorite image from this week's selection, which showcases the peak fall colors across Vermont.
This week's competition features three distinct photographs that capture the essence of autumn in New England. The first photograph, titled "Shelburne Farms," was captured by Leo Nadeau and showcases the iconic Vermont landscape. The second entry comes from Erica Fuller, who photographed the beautiful foliage in Elmore, Vermont. The third finalist is Kitty Emerson's creative shot called "Flying with foliage," which offers a unique perspective on the seasonal transformation.
The WCAX News weather team continues to manage the weekly selection process, choosing three finalist photographs each Friday throughout the remainder of the foliage season. These selected images are prominently featured on the station's newscasts and website, giving local photographers significant exposure for their work. The photograph that receives the highest number of public votes will earn the special distinction of being featured on the WCAX Instagram account.
Photography enthusiasts and amateur photographers still have opportunities to participate in upcoming weeks. The competition will continue every Friday as long as peak foliage conditions persist across the region. Once the foliage season concludes and "stick season" arrives throughout the area, participants will have the chance to vote in a grand finale competition featuring all the weekly winners from the entire season.
This community-driven photography contest celebrates the natural beauty of Vermont's fall season while encouraging local residents to explore and document their surroundings. The competition has successfully engaged viewers in appreciating the fleeting beauty of autumn foliage while building a sense of community participation in local media.
