We’re pleased to announce the winners of our 2023 Picture Plymouth photo contest.
From July through August, we accepted submissions for our 14th annual Picture Plymouth photo contest and boy, the community did not disappoint! From backyards to scenic parks, candid portraits to carefully composed nature shots, we received nearly 300 stunning photographs from local shutterbugs. We would like to thank the City of Plymouth and Mayor Jeffry Wosje for their assistance reviewing the submissions and choosing our winners. We would also like to profusely thank everyone who participated by submitting photos this year.
Now, without further ado, meet the winners of Picture Plymouth 2023.
Please note that judges reserve the right to recategorize submissions if they feel the photograph is better suited to a different category.
