The Charles L. Sommers Alumni Association (SAA) Photo Contest Committee is proud to announce the winners of this year’s Northern Tier staff photo competition. We all noticed a marked increase in the quality of the submissions this year and the selection process was difficult. There were a wide variety of entries on a large number of subjects, great to look at but hard to make decisions! The winning images will be used by the SAA for promotion of the Northern Tier program and staff scholarship fund.

After due deliberations and consultations here are the selections:

Award of Excellence and winner ($200): Marshall J. Betterton for “Entry Point 25, Moose Lake”

Award of Merit and winner ($100): Charles Evan Valdyke for “Stream in the woods”

Award of Merit and winner ($100): Travis McCormick for “Paddling at Sunrise on Duncan Lake”

On behalf of the Committee and the Board of the SAA we would like to thank everyone who participated in the contest this year for their excellent work. Thanks for sharing your creative visions on the lake country we all know and love.
