Hudson Riverscape Photo Contest

The Hudson River Maritime Museum is pleased to announce the start of a new social media photo contest - #HudsonRiverscape. The public is welcome to participate on Facebook or submit photos via email. All voting takes place on Facebook - the photo with the most likes and comments each week wins a prize!

Photos will also be posted here on the History Blog each Saturday, along with the previous week's winner!

Here are the details:
