We are excited to announce the winners of the Spring 2020 edition of Balfour’s Great Shot Photo Contest. This edition of the contest was unlike any we’ve done before, as this spring has proven that nothing is normal these days. With more than 1,200 entries for our Out of the Classroom and a K-8 categories, our panel of judges were blown away by your collective talent and creativity.
In addition to place winners for each category, several photos were designated for honorable mention. Our People's Choice award winners were selected based on online voting.
Congratulations to all our winners! Follow us on Facebook for news of our next photo contest.
