The Conservation Foundation of the Gulf Coast recently announced the juried selections and winners for its second annual Summer Photo Contest exhibit. Photographers of all ages and experience levels were invited to submit original work showcasing the beauty of natural Florida. Jury members included presenting sponsor Elizabeth Moore, photographers Mary Lundeberg and Grant Jeffries, and fine art painter Mary Louise O'Connell.

More than 300 entries were submitted for consideration; Jurors evaluated submissions on composition, color, contrast, point of view, whether the image told a story, and how well the image fit the category. Fifty photographs were selected for exhibition and jurors awarded a winner in each category as well as an overall Best in Show.
