GS_Fall21_Blog-Thumb

Meet the winners of the Fall 2021 edition of Balfour’s Great Shot Photo Contest! Yearbook photographers were clearly back out in force this fall, as your more than 1,000 submissions challenged our panel of judges (in the best way). Thank you to everyone who submitted entries for our Sports: Action-Packed, Macro (Close-ups) and K-8 categories.

In addition to place winners for each category, several great photos deserved honorable mentions. Our People's Choice award winners were selected based on online voting.

Congratulations to all our winners, and thanks to everyone who participated! Follow us on Facebook for news of our next photo contest.
