The Essex National Heritage Area begins just 10 miles north of Boston and covers 500 square miles of eastern Massachusetts to the New Hampshire border. The Area features historic seaports, white clapboard buildings, renowned art and cultural museums, antique farms, wooden boat-building shops, early industrial mill complexes, and significant wildlife refuges. The Area contains two National Park sites and hundreds of historic structures, museums, and natural resources, and is within an easy day trip of Boston by train or car.

Working in collaboration with the National Park Service, the Essex National Heritage Commission promotes public/private partnerships and develops and implements programs that enhance, preserve and encourage regional awareness of the unique historic, cultural and natural resources found within the Area. For more information, visit the ENHC web site at www.essexheritage.org or call (978) 740-0444.

In 2006, the ENHC held its first annual Photography Contest. Qualifying photographs were required to represent one of three categories of Area resources: Natural resources, such as farms, marshland and wildlife; Cultural resources, such as museums, musical performances and festivals; and Historic resources, including people and places that tell the story of the region's early settlement, maritime or industrial heritage. Contest judges were Stanley Forman, Pulitzer Prize-wining photographer and cameraman for WCVB Channel 5, and Rich Yagjian, Chief Operating Officer of Hunt's Photo and Video in Melrose, MA. Prizes were generously contributed by Hunt's Photo & Video, Olympus, Nikon, Canon and the National Park Service.
