2020 Nature Photography Contest Results

The City of West Palm Beach and Grassy Waters Conservancy thank all who participated in our 2020 Grassy Waters Preserve Nature Photography Contest and Youth Photography Contest. It was great to see so many beautiful images of the Preserve.

The 2020 Nature Photography Contest had 277 entries and raised over $4,000 for Conservancy projects and programs at the Preserve.  Our first ever Youth Photography Contest had 50 entries.  We are particularly excited to announce that the Nature Center’s Choice, the photo which will be the 2020 Preserve poster, was from the Youth Contest.

The Conservancy thanks our contest judge, professional photographer Jerry Ginsberg.

Due to the Coronavirus, we were unable to hold our opening exhibition and other contest events.   While we were not able to have the events as planned, the Conservancy thanks its contest partners the Armory Art Center and Mandel Public Library of West Palm Beach.

Congratulations to all the 2020 Winners and Honorable Mentions!
