See the Winning Photos of the 2021 Nantucket Island Photo Contest

See hundreds of beautiful photos of Nantucket and of life on our island off the coast of Massachusetts in the United States, all from our 2021 Nantucket Photo Contest.

Nantucket, United States - October 20, 2021 /PressCable/

Hundreds of entries were received during the past year to the 2021 Nantucket Photo Contest which makes sense since 2021 was a banner year for number of visitors to this island off the coast of Massachusetts. A record number of sunset and sunrise photos were emailed in to enter the contest, and a huge number of selfies were submitted (many by the same two people).

People from 16 states across the US entered, and four entries were sent in by international travelers. There may have been more states represented, but some participants forgot to reveal their addresses. Tennessee, California, Michigan, Texas, Pennsylvania, Florida, New York, New Jersey, Indiana, and both North and South Carolina were among the states represented. At least a dozen participants told us their photos were taken during their first visits to Nantucket this year.

This year we did not receive a single print in the mail: all participants emailed their photo entries to us at ackphotocontest@gmail.com. And nearly all the entries were taken with cell phones. Please remember to send us your photo and not a screen capture of your photo.

This year’s winning photo of the Nantucket beach with shell fence and shack was taken by island resident Lois Hutchinson, a shutterbug we hope will enter our contest every year! Our judges loved the way she captured quintessential elements of Nantucket in a single, beautiful shot of the beach at Madaket.

The photo that won second place was taken by William Perelli of Hamden, Connecticut. We get dozens of photographs of Brant Point Lighthouse every year—hundreds of them over the decades we’ve held this contest—but none have had the angle, composition, and color of Perrelli’s shot.

Many of the photos that were entered are posted on the Insider’s Guide to Nantucket: Nantucket.net, just click on the banner link on the home page or visit the Photo Contest pages on YesterdaysIsland.com.

To the many photographers who entered but did not receive a prize or honorable mention: don’t give up, there’s always another chance to win. We’ve already received dozens of entries for the 2022 Nantucket Photo Contest. Instructions on how to enter photos can be found on the Photo Contest page.

Check for your photo entry online at Nantucket.net. Your Nantucket photo may appear on a cover next season or in a blog post, and follow us on Instagram @nantucketinsider
