Our shutterbugs have the blues … and that’s a good thing for our “Something Blue” photo contest. More than 1,000 submissions creatively captured the color blue in nature and neon, sky and sea, birds’ beaks and cats’ eyes.
Guest judges Lacy Atkins and Robin Conover, both award-winning photographers, returned to help select the winners in each of our three categories: Junior, Professional and Adult Shutterbugs.
Thank you to everyone who submitted photographs. Be sure to visit tnmagazine.org to view these winning entries and additional images recognized as finalists.
Check future issues of The Tennessee Magazine for details on our next Shutterbug Photography Contest.
