Michigan Takes the 2018 Top Spot for Fall Foliage Photography in Nikon’s Annual Nationwide Campaign

From Nikon:

MELVILLE, NY – Today, Nikon Inc. announced the winner of the company’s fourth annual nationwide search for the “Top Spot for Fall Foliage”, naming Michigan as the best state for fall photography in the United States. Participants from all 50 states were more eager than ever to showcase their state’s beautiful autumn landscapes, but it was Michigan (#NikonFallMI) that narrowly claimed the title, giving the state its third consecutive victory.

“Now in its fourth year, this campaign continues to provide a platform for people to show their state pride through photography that displays the natural beauty of our country, while also highlighting the uniqueness of autumn in each individual state,” said Lisa Baxt, Associate General Manager of Communications, Nikon Inc.

Michigan once again earned this year’s title of Top Spot for Fall Foliage, with a plethora of stunning submissions that displayed the state’s knockout combination of vibrant foliage and numerous lakes. Michigan took the crown for the third time, with New York (#NikonFallNY) coming in second-place, and Colorado (#NikonFallCO) trailing close behind in third.

Nikon received thousands of submissions during the nationwide campaign, with entries accepted on the brand’s Facebook page, Instagram and Twitter. When posting on Instagram and Twitter, participants shared designated hashtags unique to each state – #NikonFall followed by the state’s abbreviation. Images submitted by photographers of all skill levels demonstrated the stunning variety of autumnal landscapes from coast to coast, and displayed this year’s gorgeous array of vivid forests, gleaming lakes, and spectacular foliage.

To view all of this year’s submissions on Instagram and Twitter, search the hashtag #NikonFall followed by the state’s abbreviation (e.g. #NikonFallMI, #NikonFallNY).
