The Clayton Chamber of Commerce Photo Contest is open to all shutterbugs that have an eye for what could best represent Clayton in the 2026 Visitor Guide, website, displays and in an office collage.
The Photo Contest judges will be specifically looking for action shots that depict Clayton and people enjoying the 1000 Islands. The Chamber is looking for photos of individuals, friends and families who are boating, kayaking, swimming, picnicking, dining, shopping, 4 wheeling, biking, snowmobiling, jet skiing, camping and fishing. Action shots are also needed to help promote Winterfest, The Great New York State Food & Wine Festival, Fireworks, the Classic Vintage and Car Street Meet, Punkin Chunkin and the Christmas Parade. Aerial/Drone Photos welcomed!!
