City, Edina Magazine Honor Photo Contest Winners
Edina, Minn., Aug. 19, 2015 – The City of Edina and co-sponsor Edina Magazine recognized winners of the
2015 Images of Edina Photo Contest at the Aug. 18 City Council Meeting.
A panel of judges made up of Edina Magazine and City staff chose the winners.
“It was very difficult for the judges to decide on the winners; there were so many great choices this year,” said
Communications Coordinator Jordan Gilgenbach, who oversees the annual contest. “We think the winners’
photos really represent the quality of life in Edina.”
Photos considered by judges were taken between June 2014 and July 2015 and were entered into a category
that represented the City’s former vision statement. The winners of the 2015 contest are:
Living: People and Best in Show – “Sunset at Braemar” by Bryan Singer
Living: Plants & Wildlife – “Centennial Lakes Babies” by Becky Parkin
Learning – “Hope and Happiness” by Julie Prior-Miller
Raising Families – “Wheeee!” by David Murphy
Doing Business – “Say Cheese!” by Lisa Hafey
Readers’ Choice – “What an Edina Kid Does in the Winter While Waiting for the School Bus” by
Ryan Gordon
Winners received a trophy and gift card. Their work will be displayed in the Finance Department of City Hall
for up to two years.
The contest is free to enter and is open to both amateur and professional photographers who reside, work or
attend school in Edina. The 2016 contest will open for entries in Spring 2016.
