The Friends’ inaugural Photo Contest concluded on May 1st.  Although the number of entries was small, the images submitted were of high quality and spoke to both the skills of our member photographers and the beauty of our beloved park and its inhabitants.  Our three gracious judges, Matt Delcarlo, Edwin Hacking, and Sharron Walker have reviewed all the entries and completed their deliberations to determine the top three photos in each of the four contest categories. 

We will be printing and matting each of the winning images and displaying them in the Visitor Center when it re-opens later this summer. The images will also be featured in our next newsletter (July-August issue), which be sent out at the end of July. And along with the display in the Visitor Center, we will hold a “Best of the Winners – Public Choice” contest in which every visitor viewing the images there can place their vote for the overall best photograph. Come and see them in person!

The Friends of SPVP sincerely thank all members who entered and contributed to the success of this initial contest effort, and extend our hearty congratulations to each of the winners! 

And the Winners Are…
