Five Rivers Photo Contest Winners
November, 2013 – Last summer Five Rivers Conservation Trust asked folks who live in the Concord area to share photos of themselves and families enjoying the many miles of trails that interlace the 56 properties that the group has protected.
By the time the contest closed, more than 40 images had been submitted. The contest was a way to celebrate the group’s 25th anniversary. Now the winners have been chosen:
- 1st place People/pet category Emerson, Canterbury by Clifton Mathieu

The 40 entries came from 18 participants with 10 different winners across four categories. All the photos submitted represented 11 of the Five Rivers properties across six towns. Categories included people/pet, scenery, something amazing, and wildlife with 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place awards being offered.
All photos were submitted on the Five Rivers Facebook page, and were judged by a group of local celebrities, including Concord Insider Editor Keith Testa, radio personality Peter St. James, and InTown Concord’s Liza Poinier. Thank you very much to the judges for the time they took with this.
Five Rivers would also like to extend a special thank you to the Sponsors of our photo contest: Grappone Toyota and Rowland Studios. We could not have pulled this off without your incredible support!
