Conservation Foundation of the Gulf Coast is excited to announce the juried selections and winners for their fifth annual Summer Photo Contest. Over 300 entries were submitted from photographers of all ages and experience levels of their original work showcasing the beauty of natural Florida for this online competition. When making their selections, jurors evaluated submissions on composition, color, contrast, point of view, whether the image told a story, and how well the image fit the category. In addition to selecting which images would be included in the exhibit, jurors awarded a winner in each category as well as an overall Best-In-Show. The jury-selected winners for each category are: The Big Picture – “Morning Fog in the Forest” by Anthony Berry; The Art of Nature – “Falling Embers in the Moonlight” by Anthony Berry; Old Florida Charm – “Fishing on the Pond” by Eddie Miller; It’s A Wild Life and Best-In-Show Winner – “Majestic Elegance” by Ken Macejka; and Youth Perspective – “Butterfly on Flowers” by Reagan McIntosh. The exhibit may be viewed at conservationfoundation.com/summerphoto2024 or by visiting Conservation Foundation of the Gulf Coast on Facebook. People’s Choice voting is still underway through Monday, September 2nd on the Conservation Foundation Facebook page and that winner will be announced on Facebook on Tuesday, September 3rd. “
