Photographers from across the state entered more than 1,750 images capturing our theme of “Going Green.” Green is the color of many natural things, including grass, leaves, spring and life. It can represent renewal, calm and rebirth in many aspects. Images could be from any year and anywhere, but they had to have one element — the color green.
Guest judge Lacy Atkins, an award-winning photographer, helped our staff select the winners in each of our three categories: Junior, Professional and Adult Shutterbugs. Thank you to everyone who submitted photographs. Be sure to check out the additional images we recognized as finalists.
