This year, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we moved our annual photo contest online, and it turned out to be a great success. Overall, we had 179 photo submissions - quite possibly the largest number of submissions we have ever had. We invited accomplished photographers, Ed Lausch and Rich Walton, to be our judges, and they were really impressed with the quality of everyone's photos saying that they were better than in past years. Below are the overall winners of our 2020 photography contest as well as the highest scoring photos from each individual category. In addition, after over 350 votes, we have the viewer’s choice award winning photo too!
