E
ach year, selecting
the winners of our annual
photography competition
becomes more complex, as the
entries increase in volume,
subject matter, originality and
style. We begin by narrowing
down the photos into two groups;
one group that advances, and
the other that we eliminate.
Ultimately, after extended
discussions about the merits
of each photograph in the first
group, we choose the winners.
We wish we could print
every entry, but that would
defeat the object of a contest.
Congratulations to our winners
and our thanks to all of those who
made the effort by submitting
their images. Obviously, there are
many talented photographers in
the Tampa Bay area, and we are
proud to display their work.
