Sudbury Valley Trustees Announces Photo Contest Winners

Sudbury Valley Trustees sounded the call for local photographers to submit their photographic works: specifically photos highlighting the beauty and intrigue of the Sudbury, Assabet, and Concord river basin. Area photographers responded, and their selections were numerous and impressive.  Judging took place separately for adults and youth under age 18. 

The adult “Best in Show” winner was submitted by Frank Vitale of Sudbury, with his photograph entitled “Surviving the 2010 Spring Flood.” This picture was taken at The Old Manse ion Concord. 

The under age 18 “Best In Show” winner was submitted by Amelia Cordischi of Sudbury, with her photograph entitled “Breakthrough,”

John Sklenak of Sudbury was awarded first place in two of the three categories with his "Fun on the Concord River" (People) and "January Morning on the Sudbury River" (Rivers).  Craig Smith of Hudson was awarded first place in the Flora/Fauna category with his photograph "Indian Pipes".    Other winners include David Griffin of Maynard with “Standing Against the Flood”, Barbara Taskovics of Sudbury with “Baltimore Oriole” and David Luppold of Concord with “Deep River Oaks”.

Winning photographs were displayed at SVT’s Wolbach Farm in Sudbury during Riverfest Week-end.
