"I am proud that my photograph has been chosen to represent this terrific event," said Levesque.
"As someone who frequents Downeast Maine and spends a great deal of time in Acadia National Park, it is an honor to help showcase the beauty of our night sky for all to see."

Milky Way Over Schoodic to Grace Posters
BAR HARBOR, Maine -- Nathan Levesque's photograph, Milky Way Over Schoodic, has been chosen as the winning image for the 8th Annual Acadia Night Sky Festival poster contest. A nationwide contest was held to find the iconic image and the selection committee was once again impressed with a number of high quality entries.
Milky Way Over Schoodic, by Nathan Levesque, will be featured on the Acadia Night Sky Festival poster.
The winning image showcases the rugged coast of Acadia National Park with a breathtaking view of the Milky Way in its composition. More than 20 photographers and artists submitted their original work capturing the night skies over Acadia and Downeast Maine, but Levesque's photograph stood out.
"I am proud that my photograph has been chosen to represent this terrific event," said Levesque. "As someone who frequents Downeast Maine and spends a great deal of time in Acadia National Park, it is an honor to help showcase the beauty of our night sky for all to see."
Cape Air, a sponsor of the Acadia Night Sky Festival for several years running, will present Levesque with two round-trip airfare vouchers between Bar Harbor and Boston.
