Photographers bring the Edina community into focus.
Over the past year, residents have been cataloging local life around Edina. This summer, these same shutter bugs shared some of their favorite shots in our Images of Edina photo contest. We can’t thank you enough for sharing Edina through your lens. From pet portraits and family snapshots to breathtaking scenes and creative abstracts, your submissions have captured the unique character of our community.
Now, it’s time to explore the winning photographs.
The Learning category was not awarded this year due to limited entries. We encourage photographers to keep this category in mind for next year.
Please note that judges reserve the right to recategorize submissions if they feel the photograph is better suited to a different category.
