Participants over 18, or with permission, can enter their photos of the lighthouse. HALPS will award prizes to three 1st place winners and three runners-up. And to one talented photographer, HALPS will award the Keeper’s Prize. This grand prize includes a private tour of the Lighthouse, family membership benefits for a year, a certificate recognizing you as Honorary Lighthouse Keeper, a HALPS gift shop item of your choice, and much more!

You can submit photo entries three ways: via email to halpsoffice@gmail.com; post your entry on the HALPS Facebook page; or submit your photo as an Instagram post or story by tagging us @hudsonathenslighthouse. Be sure to label your post with the contest hashtag #helloHAL. HALPS will announce the winners over Labor Day Weekend with outrageous public recognition.

Hello, HAL! is a fun, safe way to get back outside and celebrate the Hudson-Athens Lighthouse. “We can’t wait to see HAL’s personality captured in all the photos,” said HALPS President Carol Gans. Happy snapping!
