Three Judges' Choice Awards were selected during the judging process by our esteemed jurors, who felt the need to recognize more than our intended top ten. The names of the prize winners will appear on both the contest website (http://Denver Audubon.contestvenue.com/) and on our "Share the View" Facebook page, where we will announce one of the top ten finalists and Judges' Choice awards weekly.
Also another one of my entries was juried into one of the top 250 highly commended finalists that will be featured on their contest website during 2012.

Today I am going to pat myself on the back.

This fall, I received the best in show award from the Friends of National Wildlife Refuges of, Rhode Island for my picture of a snowy egret preening.

Yesterday, Massachusetts Audubon society held a reception for the finalists in their Picture This: The Great Outdoors photo contest. There was 24 finalists chosen from over 2400 entries. The awards were: Two Grand Prize Winners (one Adult and one Student);Two Winners for Best Mass Audubon Wildlife Sanctuary Photo (one Adult and one Student);
