2010 Photo Contest Winners

Print

Published September & October 2010

The winners and all participants in our annual photo contest enjoy seeing their photos used in covers and advertisements throughout the year, and we appreciate their creative efforts. On the cover of this magazine we feature the first place winner in this year’s People category, a composition by Emma Leigh Coffman of Temple, Texas.

Photos were judged by two professional photographers this year— Jim Bean of Jim Bean Professional Photography and Tom Clemens of The Photo Studio, both headquartered in San Angelo, Texas. Entries were judged on a point system, rated by these two talented photographers and by our magazine staff. Photos were viewed by the judges on a computer monitor, one by one. Prints were scanned and viewed on the montor as well. Judges were blind as to who took the photos. They were judged on composition, technical ability of the photographer and artistic merit.

For the September magazine, the winners of the People category and the Rural Life and Landscape category are featured on these pages. In October we’ll show the winners of the Youth and Animals and Nature categories.

Thanks again to the photographers. We appreciate your effort and talent. In future months watch for other photos featured on the cover and in the Hometown Banks ad as well as in other articles and ads.
