On September 21, 2008, Tropical Ranch Botanical Gardens presented prizes to our 3rd Annual Amateur Photo Contest Winners. Judging was completed on September 18 and it was a very difficult job.

Our Judges were local artists Hope Everson and Kelly Arnold and local Photographer, Michael Salzlechner. The judges met at Tropical Ranch Botanical to view all 51 photographs (the most ever and the best ever)  The winning photos are displayed below for your enjoyment.

All of the photos entered in the contest can be viewed as a slideshow below.
