Winners of Photo Contest
On May 8, 2010, Birth To Three's Executive Director, Minalee Saks, announced the winners of the 2010 Lane County Children's Photo Contest. The event was held at Valley River Center.
Three professional photographers gave $25 of each February photo session to support Birth To Three's programs. The photographers are Joy Taubner, Richard May and Bruce Berg.
All photos were entered in the contest, which is not a beauty contest. Winners were selected by judges; the People's Choice awards were chosen by visitors to Valley River Center's display of the entries.
The Birth To Three Award was chosen by our organization and will be displayed in our lobby for the coming year.
Watch for next year's photo contest in early 2011!
