Lens on the Lake 2021 Photo Contest Winners

Tommy ready to play

Competition was stiff this year for the annual Lens on the Lake photo contest, but after the dust settled, the judges picked the winning images in five categories: Activities & Events, City Landmarks, Wildlife & Nature, Pets, People & Families.

Winners and participants may get their photo featured on our Last Glance page in future print issues through 2022, so keep your eyes peeled—and keep those shutters clicking away.
