2013 Photo Contest Entries & Winners
The results are in! This year’s contest was open to everyone who participated in one of our 2012 trips to the Luberon (Provence), Chianti (Tuscany), and the Salzkammergut (Austrian alps). We received 38 entries from 21 people, representing six of our 2012 trips. Thanks to everyone who entered!
Every photo shares a different aspect of one of our 2012 trips, something that represents a special memory for the photographer. The photo may depict scenery or food, local people or fellow travelers, something poignant or funny… but it’s all part of the experience.
This slide show includes all the photos entered in the contest. (Click on the little arrow underneath the photo on the right to start the slide show. You can also hover over “Notes” to see the story each person provided about their photo.)
The winners were determined by our four judges, all experienced European travelers who love taking photos on their trips. The judges were only provided with the photo and the caption… no information about the photographer.
And the Winners are…
