The Hudson Valley is renowned for its scenic vistas, especially in autumn. Central Hudson customers who capture the region’s beauty and enter a photograph in the utility’s Fall Foliage Photo Contest have a chance to win a $100 Central Hudson gift certificate in this second annual contest.

“This is a wonderful way to celebrate the Hudson Valley during its most colorful time of the year,” said Denise D. VanBuren, vice president of public relations. “Last year’s entries were truly stunning, and we’re looking forward to receiving more breathtaking scenery of our special region.”
