Explore the winning photos from our Focus on Woodbury photo contest.
This summer, we asked local residents to scroll down their digital files or flip through their film—whatever it took to find their favorite shots of the Woodbury community. From scenic landscapes to candid portraits, artistic abstractions to vibrant close-ups, Woodbury Magazine readers delivered their favorite scenes from the past year. We would like to extend our thanks to returning contestants and newcomers alike!
Now, we’re excited to share the winners of our second annual photo contest.
Please note that judges reserve the right to recategorize submissions if they feel the photograph is better suited to a different category.
