Shutterbugs, our 2014 Lens on Lake Minnetonka photo contest has come to a close, and we thank our faithful readers for their gorgeous photo submissions and their online votes for the readers’ choice award.
The contest includes two different awards:
- Juried panel: A panel of judges chooses a winner in each of five categories (Wildlife & Nature, Activities & Events, City Landmarks, People & Families, and Pets). We include runners up as the number and quality of photos allow.
- Readers’ choice: Readers vote online for their overall favorite photo.
Congratulations to these all-star photographers:
