Our photography contest was a huge success. We were amazed at the quality of images we received. It was fun to see the results of the public voting and the winning images were worthy contenders. We had many great submissions, thank you to all who participated - both photographers and voters! And a big thank you to our sponsors who donated prizes for the winners. We look forward to seeing even more entries in the 2016 competition.
