4TH ANNUAL WBM PHOTOGRAPHY CONTEST
EVERY PICTURE
TELLS A STORY
Presenting the best photos from the fourth annual
Wrightsville Beach Magazine photography contest.
Every issue, Wrightsville Beach Magazine presents
the people, places and happenings that make our
community special. Each March, we invite the
community to participate, asking local photographers
to submit images that tell the story of this coastal
town and surrounding region.
This is the fourth year of our annual contest, and
once again area shooters came through. There are
photos from professionals and amateurs in the
categories of People, Wildlife and Landscapes. This
year’s gallery features some amazing images from the
sea to the sky and from the beach to birds, always an
amazing selection.
This is a contest, so there is a first-place winner
and several honorable mentions in each category.
But the real winners are those of us who get to see
their submissions.
Whether the photos won or placed, it’s quite a show.
FIRST PLACE AMATEUR ENTRY | PEOPLE
SURFER GIRL by Robert Dittmer
I was in the water waiting for the perfect Wrightsville
Beach sunrise. The surfer paddled out and was waiting
for the next wave. When the sun rose, I saw that the two
were in just the right spot for an epic silhouette picture.
