Outside Bozeman - Southwest Montana's Outdoor Journal

Outside Bozeman magazine - 1^st Annual Photography Contest

RESULTS ARE IN!

The contest is over and selected winning photographs have been published in the Summer 2008 issue. See below for a full list of winners. The awards ceremony and party took place Wednesday, August 6th, at the Lindley Center in Bozeman and was a lot of fun. John Parker, overall amateur winner, scored a $3,000 camera setup from F-11 Photography. The chili- and chowder-stuffed crowd chose Jeremy Kessler as the overall professional winner; he took home $500 in cash from Wild West Photos. And the bountiful prize table doled out the goods to dozens more folks -- just about everybody left with some kind of booty. The evening's festivities, and the contest itself, was made possible by all our generous sponsors (see logos at bottom of page), so thank them if you get a chance. We'll see you next year!
