2009 "Images of Edina" Photo Contest Results

Scott Dorgan's photo, "Fun in the Winter Sun,” won Best of Show in addition to the "Living” category in the 6th Annual Images of Edina Photo Contest. For the second year in a row, a record number of photos were submitted for the contest, with 49 individual photographers entering 93 photos.

Judges chose winning photos in four categories representing the City’s vision statement (Living, Learning, Raising Families and Doing Business), as well as a special “Judges Choice” award. The Communications & Marketing Department Staff also choose a “Staff Favorite” photo to be recognized. From these six photos, a “Best of Show” was chosen.
