Ahs Announces Photo Contest Winners

Posted July 25th 2022

Deana Sasdelli’s entry, “Magical Beach Mist,” was named Best in Show when the Avalon Historical Society announced its winners in its annual photo contest.

There also were winners selected from among dozens of entries in four categories: Avalon, Nature, Scenic, and Portrait & Personality. The contest judges were local photographers Scott Prince, Al Campbell and Suzanne Dagit.

“A love for Avalon drove me to enter,” said Sasdelli, who has owned a home in Avalon for 34 years. “I was shocked and positively thrilled when I received the call that I’d won!”

Rose Marie Chew, the secretary of the Avalon Historical Society, said the goal of the contest is to encourage amateur photographers to take photos and get their work out there.

“We would even encourage children to participate, if they like to take photos,” Chew said.

The winners for each category:
Avalon: John Kauterman, “Surf’s Up”
Nature: George Wallace, “Osprey Nest Sunset”
Scenic: Judi Rogers, “Morning Bliss”
Portrait & Personality: Judi Rogers, “Harry”

This contest is over, but if you’re looking for somewhere to submit your photos, send them to info@visitavalonnj.com for the 2022 Summer Memories Photo Contest! See the Avalon Chamber of Commerce Facebook page for details.
