In 2007, we conducted our eighth photo contest for recreation permit holders. Everyone was invited to submit up to five photographs in one of five categories: Wildlife, Plants, Water Scenes, General Scenes, and People Recreating. The only stipulation was that the photograph had to be taken at any of our Regional Water Authority recreation areas. Members of our boards ranked the photos. The four photos with the most points in each category were deemed the finalists. The top point-getter in each category was declared the winner on January 16, 2008 at our annual recreation meeting. Each winner received a $100 gift certificate. The finalists also received prizes.
The five photographs shown here are the 2007 winners. (Click any thumbnail to see the photo larger.)
We would like to thank everyone who submitted entries for the contest. We will be running another photo contest in 2008, so check the Recreation page periodically for details.
