Photo Contest Winner Announced

Marshall Island’s Sand Cove, John Rivers

Seven participants in MCHT’s summer field trips entered the 2008 Field Trip Photo Contest and, in total, submitted 60 photos for consideration. A committee of five MCHT staff members evaluated the submissions and chose John Rivers’ panoramic shot of Marshall Island as the grand prize winner. The winning photo will be featured in the fall edition of MCHT’s Maine Heritage newsletter and John will receive a free registration on a 2009 MCHT Field Trip (value up to $75).

In addition to the grand prize, four other photos were chosen as winning entries for those trips in which submissions were made. The trip winners included Karen McFarland (Frenchboro Island), Sam Cohen (Northeast Creek), Alana Ranney (Hamilton Preserve), and Alec Richardson (Merchant Row).

Thank you to all who submitted photos and congratulations to our five winners. We look forward to seeing each of you on one of next year’s trips (schedule will be posted in the spring). Hopefully, you will entice others to join the quest to be crowned grand prize winner of the 2009 MCHT Field Trip Photo Contest.
