2026 Spring Fair Photo Contest
2026 Awards Of Excellence - $20 Prizes
Judges selected these winners in 9 main categories
Excellence - Best Creative - Kristina Allums - Flamenco Bird Dance
Taken in Spain for my first Flamenco dance with my cell phone. The dancer was spinning with the silk shawl and since it was fairly dark in there it created a beautiful movement photo that made the dancer look like a bird to me.
Excellence - Best Flowers - Ellen Bogenschutz - Plum Blossoms
I picked this vase up at a local art walk and just love the Raku glaze. The grace of the Plum blossom branch complimented the vase to achieve a beautiful Asian motif.
Excellence - Best General - Maria DeKoker - Fishing Ropes
On a dock in Westport
Excellence - Best People - Dave Hodge - Rodeo Fans
This image was taken at the Roy Rodeo. The kids moved to the fence and I happened to catch this brief moment.
Excellence - Best Landscape - Judi Kubes - Icon of Maine
Excellence - Best Monochrome - Merle Roberts - Shadow Flight
Raven on final approach.
Excellence - Best Birds - Bruce Severeid - Fish! It's What's For Dinner
Viera Wetlands, FL
Excellence - Best Animals - Katie Wakin - All Dogs Go To Heaven
He never stopped trying to reach the water — his place of peace, his quiet joy. That night, as the sky burned gold, I understood we were nearing the end of our journey together. I memorized every detail, wanting to keep him with me always. Our soul dog. Tiny Wakin.
Excellence - Best Architecture - Dorinda Wills - Beam Me Up
Titled "Beam Me Up", taken with a Nikon D500, Tamron lens at 24mm. Ambient light beams and the low angle shot give it, I think, a unique view of the iconic Space Needle.
