Happy New Year! The traveling KIDS’ “BEST OF AUGUSTA” PHOTO CONTEST display board is currently at the Augusta Library. It features all the entries from the Kids’ Photo Contest this past fall, with judging in November. Check out all the photos. If you know someone who entered, entered yourself, or just curious, stop by the library. The library is open on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays (9 a.m. to 7 p.m.) and Saturdays (9 a.m. to noon).
Let's make 2026 the best year yet; it’s the “lucky” or “blessed” thirteenth year of the "Best of Augusta" photo contest. Thank you to all who have entered the contest over the years, including adults, kids 12 & under, and teens. You have shaped this contest. If you have any suggestions, please email the Town at
Contests are scheduled for the spring and fall. Local Augusta businesses will donate prizes. Thank you to all who support this contest in various ways.

New Year's resolution suggestion: Enter your favorite photo this year; it could be one of the winning photos in 2026. The best is yet to come in 2026!
