SAN ANTONIO – Get your cameras ready! The San Antonio River Authority (River Authority) announces the 3rd Annual River Clicks photo contest aimed to highlight the San Antonio River Basin. The River Authority is seeking photo submissions that will capture the beauty, unique aspects, and recreational amenities of the San Antonio River and its tributaries. The River Authority extends this contest to all communities in Bexar, Wilson, Karnes, and Goliad counties and to individuals of all photographic skill level to submit creative, artistic, fun, and memorable photographs. Participants may submit photos on the River Authority’s website from February 28 until May 10. The contest will consist of up to 11 winning categories with prize packages valued up to $500 and a special category prize package valued up to $1,000.

Every year a new location in one of the River Authority’s four-county service district is recognized in our special category. This year’s special category is the Goliad Paddling Trail and Branch River Park in Goliad, TX to honor the 20th anniversary of the local non-profit organization at Canoe Trail Goliad.

“We invite the community to use this photo contest as an opportunity to visit places along the San Antonio River they have never visited before, either by kayaking along the Goliad Paddling Trail or visiting one of the River Authority parks.” said River Authority’s General Manager Suzanne Scott.
