Readers’ Choice Winner: Snowflake Backlit Macro by Nancy Berg
The results are in, here are your 2023 winners for our 25th annual Focus on Woodbury photo contest!
Over the summer, we invited you to submit your photos of the Woodbury community. And boy, you local shutterbugs did not disappoint! With a record-breaking 488 submissions, our staff had their work cut out for them during the review process. From four-legged family members to scenic backyard views, up-close nature shots to wide, sweeping vistas, the Woodbury community shared their favorite photographs with us. We would like to thank each and every person who submitted to our photo contest and helped to create such a memorable year.
Now, it’s time for us to share the winners …
Please note that judges reserve the right to recategorize submissions if they feel the photograph is better suited to a different category.
