Winners chose prizes from an assortment of matted photographs and photo albums. Decatur photographer Christine Doolen visited the library twice to present workshops and also presented first-place winners with certificates entitling them to free portrait sittings at her studio. Each entrant also received a disposable camera to keep them snapping.

The Library staff would like to extend thanks to all the young people who submitted work for this contest and to Christine for her donation of time and professional services.
