CCA 15th Anniversary Photo Contest Winners

For our 15th anniversary, CCA invited photographers to submit photos taken over the last 15 years on Chincoteague and Assateague Islands.  To encourage a variety of entries, there were prizes in four categories:  On the Refuge, Around Town, Personalities, and Festivities, plus a prize for Best in Show.  The judges found choosing from the 200 photos submitted quite challenging. They awarded a second first prize for On the Refuge (the most popular category) and 11 Honorable Mentions across all categories.  To recognize even more of the entries, they named 15 photos "The Best of the Rest".

Here are the 2018 Best in Show and First Prize winners:

Best in Show: Carol Ward

First Prize for Around Town: Faith Radimer
