Community magazine’s summer photo contest, sponsored by Pictureline and Lumin Publishing, highlights the beauty of the region our clients and customers call home.

The theme, “In My Own Backyard,” encouraged photographers of all skill levels to find and shoot the beauty in their own literal backyards or take some creative license and capture the incredible landscapes of the region.
