SandFest Photo Contest
Sponsored by Cinnamon Shore
Great contest! We want to thank everyone who
entered. Your entry fees help SandFest and your photos allow us to create
an incredible photo book which will be on display at all future SandFests.
It is always exciting to see SandFest from so many different camera lens.
One group of people who love to see the photo contest entries is our Master
Sculptors. They love to see their work through your eyes.
There were a ton of great photos so our judges had a hard time. Besides
the winners, they awarded several Honorable Mentions. Thanks again for all
the entries. The photos will be enjoyed for years to come.
