The winners of this year’s SoBo Photo Contest were announced at a public awards ceremony on July 24 at the Enoch Pratt Free Library on Light Street.
Thirteen SoBo photographers entered their work in this year’s contest. The third annual event, sponsored by South Baltimore United, Inc., the nonprofit publisher of the Peninsula Post, focused on the theme of “Baltimore Celebrates.” The 33 images entered in the contest illustrated celebrations large and small around Charm City.
Entries were reviewed by Baltimore artist Crystal Moll for the Celebrity Judge Awards and by 160 participants in the People’s Choice Award online poll, conducted in early July. The winning photographs are now on display at the Library through October.
