After over 230 photo submissions, some tough decisions by our judges, and\u2014most importantly\u2014the final tally of your votes, we are thrilled to announce the winners of our 2019 Photo Contest.<\/strong> It was a close contest, with the winning photos decided by just a couple of votes. It was also certified a clean election. No Russian meddling here! At one point, we considered sending it to the Supreme Court, but calmer heads prevailed \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

The quality of the photos this year was outstanding. In my opinion, it was the best overall collection of photos in the 9 years of the contest. Thank you to everyone who participated, voted, and shared their comments and stories.<\/strong> Our annual photo contest is one of the most fun events we experience as a company and we are already thinking about how to make next year’s 10th anniversary contest the best yet. <\/strong>Enjoy this year’s winning photos below…<\/p>\n
