Winning Photos
Best Body of Work: Stacy Mullet
Artist Statement: "These photos are part of a photographic nature study. I started shooting in early spring when my black and white film class was starting to wrap up. My goal was not just to show the beauty of nature and it's persistence, but also the hidden and taken for granted parts of nature. So often we fail to stop and enjoy what's around us, especially in our own backyard."

Best Abstract: Olivia Kohorst
Artist Statement: "My personal photographic style varies with my mood, one minute I enjoy keeping my photos raw and natural and the next I like to edit them to create a fantastic abstract."
