Thank you to everyone who participated in Appalachia Bare’s photography contest. We received many brilliant and outstanding images. Our judges, Trent Eades and Jim Clark, had a challenging time making their decisions. Our staff has viewed the Appalachian region through the eyes of every photographer who submitted to this contest, and the experience has been a great honor and pleasure. Without further ado, we announce the following Capturing Appalachia Contest winners:
- First Place — Toni Dengel: “Changing Seasons”
- Second Place — Misty Phillips: “Summer Sunflowers at Ijams”
- Honorable Mention — Katie Harr: “Old Country Gas Station”
In the coming weeks, each photograph will be published as the featured image for each winning five-image gallery. Winners will be emailed further information. Thank you again to every photographer who submitted images. We wish everyone well and hope each person will continue on a creative path.
Congratulations, again, to our winners!
