As I have for a few years prior, this year I opted to enter Shoot & Share’s Photo Contest. This year, 14 of the entered photos made it into the top 30%, 20%, and 10% in their categories! There were 561,997 photos submitted by 14,650 photographers so the contest is quite competitive! The thing I love most about this contest is that it’s all anonymous and everyday, normal people like you and I get to do the voting!  For the 2020 contest, over 110k unique visitors cast over 78,000,000 votes. How crazy is that?

I am so proud to share the best performing entries this year that made it into the top of their categories!
