Announcing 2015 Photo Contest Winners

The photos are in and the judges have made their decision. We had over 70 entries in this year’s photo contest depicting the theme “Picture Your Hero.” Contestants sent us pictures of family, monuments, and man’s best friend. Photos were judged on a variety of criteria including creativity, composition, message, theme, and others. Many thanks to the Fort Collins Digital Camera Club for judging the entries, we know it was really hard! Winning photos will be on display at Old Town Library for the month of August, beginning on the 7th.
