Winners of the 2022 Summerlin Photo Competition were recently unveiled at the community’s annual arts event—the 2022 Summerlin Festival of the Arts—that took place October 8-9. Selected from more than 180 entries, the winning photos come from both professional and amateur photographers ages 18 and older. Winning photos were selected by a panel of professional photographers.
“We received hundreds of submissions, all reflective of Summerlin’s manmade and natural beauty—evident in everything from our streetscapes, architecture and, of course, the gorgeous Red Rock Canyon and Spring Mountains that frame our community,” said Danielle Bisterfeldt, Senior Vice President, Marketing and Consumer Experience for Summerlin. “We love to see what catches the attention of photographers as they travel throughout our beautiful community. We were pleased to showcase their work at the Festival of Arts this month!”
Winning photos may also be displayed at Downtown Summerlin throughout the year and will be featured on Summerlin social media channels with credit given to photographers. Winners received Downtown Summerlin gift cards and a professionally framed, gallery-quality print of their winning photos.
Photographers were invited to submit photos in three categories: Architecture, Man-made Landscapes and Natural Landscapes both within and immediately adjacent to the community.
In the Architecture category, first place winner is Federico Castañeda; runner-ups are Anthony Donofrio and Barbara Brander. In the Man-Made Landscape category, first place winner is Trevor Vellinga; runner-ups are Adrienne C. Paraspolo and Vicki Wickman.
