Teen photo contest winners announced

VIRGINIA - The Virginia Public Library is happy to announce the winners of the “Make a Splash” Teen Photo Contest. To fit the summer program theme, all submitted photos focused on the theme of water. Entries were accepted in two categories -- enhanced and not enhanced images. The top three entries will be entered in a regional photo contest sponsored by the Arrowhead Library System. Those entries will be judged by photographer Craig Blacklock in September.
