Not every adventure requires a flight or full days spent traveling, so for this photo contest, we’re celebrating the joy of creating memorable summer adventures close to home!
Living in Minnesota, there is so much to enjoy and experience—whether you’re in your own backyard, a nearby park, or within the city limits, we encouraged participants to embrace the spirit of summer without straying too far from their local surroundings. Capture cozy snapshots of a poolside afternoon or neighborhood BBQ, or explore the city and photograph breezy rooftop patios or food truck delicacies. More into outdoorsy adventures? Head to the lake or take a drive up north and capture the beauty and tranquility of the great outdoors!
We doubled the fun with individual categories for film and digital photography—there were three film winners and three digital winners!
