Take a Shot! 2008 Winners
And the winners are...
The City of Ventura would like to thank all those who entered and voted in the Take a Shot! Digital Photography Contest. The response we received to our first-ever all digital contest was amazing--over 400 excellent photographs capturing the people and places of Ventura were submitted. In addition, hundreds submitted votes online for their favorite entries. The City of Ventura thanks you all for your participation and for engaging in the exciting medium of digital photography!
Winning photographs will be featured at an exhibition at City Hall beginning in July and photographers will be honored at a reception with City Council at City Hall in July. All are invited to attend this reception.
