Contest Winners

Thanks to everyone who submitted photos in our first annual #bestofwilsonville photo contest on "Let's Talk, Wilsonville!" and Instagram. We were overwhelmed by more than 400 submissions, which made for difficult work for our panel of judges and had us re-evaluating our contest rules! :)

To better accommodate the selection of photos we received, we took the following steps:

• Artistic Expressions was split into two categories, 'focused' and 'scenic'
• Nature, Trees Trails & Wildlife was split into two categories, 'trees & trails' and 'wildlife'
• Eliminated the Wilsonville at Work category.
• Photos were categorized at judges' discretion to balance submissions across categories.

Below are those deemed the best of the best in ten categories by our distinguished panel. Each prize winner will be informed directly about prize distribution. Our Grand Prize Winner is receiving a $100 gift card to Regal Cinemas. Those who won one or more categories is receiving a Wilsonville Ready portable phone charger.

We look forward to showcasing your photos in the City's Annual Report and Annual Comprehensive Financial Report to demonstrate your talents and show off the beauty that exists within Wilsonville.

And, obviously, we'll return with a 2nd annual contest next year.

Congrats to our winners!
