The St. Augustine Alligator Farm Zoological Park was pleased to host its 16th Annual Photo Contest.
For the fourth year in a row, the winning photos will be displayed in a calendar that will be for sale in our gift shop and will also be available to purchase on our website. One of the goals of this project is to educate and bring awareness to wading bird conservation. Therefore, a portion of the proceeds of each calendar will go to a wading bird conservation fund.Entries were received from all over the United States, parts of Canada and the UK.
Greg Lepera was this year's judge. You will soon be able to find Greg's bio on our website, www.alligatorfarm.us. With well over 100 photographers that entered almost 600 photos, you can imagine the challenge that Greg faced! Winning photographs will be on display at the Alligator Farm as well as our website very soon!
Best in ShowJulie Bender $500.00
Eleven additional photos will also be displayed in the calendar,and were taken by the following photographers: Adams Serra, Linda Holloway, Shawn Marques, Betsy Kellenberger, Michael Cenci, Olis Garber (2 photos), Lola Lawrence, Michael Maxwell, Paula Griffin (2 photos)
Photographers mentioned above will receive $200 (per photo)
Thank you to all the photographers for all of their wonderful pictures, and as always, we look forward to next year's entries!
