The contest categories were Animals, Nature, People, Local Living, and Seasons.
We thought you might appreciate knowing how the winners were selected.

• First, we removed any names or identifying marks from submissions.
• Our Postcards team then narrowed the field to multiple finalists in each category
before the photos were submitted to our panel of judges. Photo contest judges
consisted of several individuals (some local, some not) with photography
experience and expertise.
• Each judge independently selected and ranked their top five photos in each
category.
• From this information, we calculated numerical scores for the photos, which
determined our winners.
