Bear Photo Contest Winner
Finally, the time has come! Those who entered the contest have been on the edge of their seats waiting to see… who won?! And the rest of you have been looking forward to viewing some awesome bear photos!
We had SUCH a hard time choosing! We got over 60 bear photos! Quite a few people entered multiple photos, and we took each photo as a separate entry. About 50 of them were very nice pictures, and the people who entered them made it to the second round! See all the second round photos on our Facebook page! In the judging, each picture was assigned a number so those judging would have no prejudice to any certain person. Then we somehow managed to narrow it down to 7 semi-finalists. But in the end we had to pick just one to win the prize!
