Calling All Nature Photographers: Enter Friends of the Wissahickon’s Biennial Photo Contest 

Co-sponsored by Wissahickon Trails and the Woodmere Art Museum  

 If you’ve ever been inspired by the sights in the Wissahickon, like so many artists for over 200 years, capture those images and enter them in Friends of the Wissahickon’s (FOW) Biennial Wissahickon Photo Contest. Returning as co-sponsors with FOW are Wissahickon Trails and the Woodmere Art Museum.

Since the Wissahickon is a park for all seasons, the four entry categories will be: spring, summer, fall, and winter. In keeping with this theme, the contest kicks off the first day of spring: March 20.

  • Any of the three co-sponsoring organizations may feature the winning photos in their printed materials, online, or on social media.
  • Paper copies of photographs will not be returned.
