Caribbean Garden Photography Contest: Week One Winners!

Posted in Photography on February 1 2012, by Ann Rafalko

The first week of the Caribbean Garden Photography Contest was a well-fought match with many beautiful photographs entered. But that’s not all we’re here to tell you. We also would like to announce that the Grand Prize in each category–Sense of Place and Macro–will be receiving $100 Adult Education Gift Certificates good towards the class of your choosing at the Garden or at our Midtown Center. The certificate can be used for any class–not just photography! Now that’s a prize worth competing for.

Do you think you have what it takes? Check out this week’s winners! If you think you can do better, become a Friend of the Garden, get a code good for 50% off your Caribbean Garden tickets, and head to the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory to start shooting!

Adoravel o trabalho desta instituição. Gostaria de fazer uma ponte de intercâmbio entre a nossa Secretaria Municipal de Meio Ambiente e o Museu.
Qual seria o procedimento para avançarmos neste contato.
Grato pela atenção
