By TTM Editorial StaffSeptember 1, 2022Updated:September 20, 20221 Min Read

Photographers from across the state entered nearly 900 images capturing “Summertime in Tennessee.” Subjects included sunrises, sunsets and sunflowers. Man’s best friend and fond feathered friends. Catching bass on the lake and catching air over wake. Toiling on the farm, tending backyard gardens and finding beauty among colorful, pesky weeds.

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.
