It's the moment everyone has been waiting for! (At least, it's the moment that five people have been waiting for...)
The winner of Red River's 125th-anniversary photo contest is Dick Barclay with his photo of a Misty Morning on Island Pond. This photo garnered votes from half of our Panel of Expert Judges. Congratulations, Dick!
The winning photographer, as you all know, receives a weekend for two at Red River. The voting was so close, though, even among the judges at the end, that the remaining four finalists will also be awarded gift certificates.
A $50 gift certificate will be awarded to Bill Stanton for his photo On the Way Back from North Little Black, which garnered the second highest number of votes (and "toss up" votes from two of our judges who ultimately voted for the misty morning):
$25 gift certificates will be awarded to our remaining three finalists. First is Jim Hudon for his painting Back from Island Cabin:
Next is Lis Henry, for her Boathouse in the Mirror photo:
And last (but not least; I'm just going in order of the original entry numbers!) is Dave Elliott for the trout that was too good to pass up:
Again, my wholehearted thanks to everyone who entered and everyone who voted. I hope you guys had fun with it- if you did, drop me a comment and let me know. I'd like to make this an annual tradition, so keep that in mind this summer, and keep your cameras handy!
Jen, Great job on the Photo Contest. Such a great way for us to see differant views of your great area. I hope you will continue this in the future. See you at camp. The Elliott Gang
