Midpeninsula Regional Open Space hosts a photography contest each year, inviting the public to submit up to three photos taken at a Midpen preserve in six categories: Wildlife, Landscapes, Plant Life, People in Nature, Trail Less Traveled, and Aspiring Photographers.
In its 15th year, the contest received over 200 submissions, which were narrowed down to finalists by Midpen staff. The winners were chosen by the public through Midpen's social media accounts.
hver category winner received a $100 REI gift card and a swag bag.
"The contest is a fun way for people using everyday technology, like smartphones and cameras, to connect with nature close to home," said General Manager Ana Ruiz.
