You can preview the images in the online gallery. Voting ends on Saturday June 17, so make sure to stop by the library to cast your vote before it’s too late!

Entry period has ended

The Seekonk Public Library, in partnership with the Seekonk Land Conservation Trust, invite you to submit your digital photos of the beautiful, natural public spaces in town May 1st through May 22nd. The goal of our fourth annual Nature Photography Contest is to digitally preserve Seekonk’s natural spaces and ecology in concert with existing efforts to conserve the town’s natural beauty. Selected photos will be uploaded to a public Flickr gallery to share views of Seekonk’s landscape and wildlife, creating a digital walking tour of the preserved spaces in town.
