Looking at Edina through your lens.
This summer, we asked local residents to scroll down their digital files or flip through their film—whatever it took to find their favorite shots of the Edina community. From scenic landscapes to candid portraits, artistic abstractions to vibrant close-ups, Edina Magazine readers delivered their favorite scenes from the past year. We would like to extend our thanks to returning contestants and newcomers alike!
Now, we’re excited to share the winning photos with you. Check back on November 6 when the Best in Show winner will be announced.
Please note that judges reserve the right to recategorize submissions if they feel the photograph is better suited to a different category.
