Nikonians Photo
Contest Awards
2005 |
It is
with great pleasure that we celebrate the achievements of the Nikonians
who chose to participate in the 2005 Nikonians Photo contest.
Nikonians
was founded to share, learn and inspire amongst Nikon users, in a
friendly and creative environment. Over
2005, the Nikonians members Galleries grew from almost 15,000 images
to 34,000; images we thoroughly enjoyed.
Nikon
USA and Tamrac sponsored our contest with exciting prizes. To them,
our high appreciation.
Entries
to the contest doubled from last year and each of the single monthly
winners in both the Color and Black & White categories was invited
to enter the finals. A wonderful collection
of 24 images was the result.

Nikonians
decided to grant 1st and 2nd place awards for 2005, in both Color
and Black & White.
The
panel of judges from the Nikonians Masters Society, composed of
outstanding professionals and highly advanced amateurs around
the globe, casted their votes.
We
are very happy to announce the winners of the Nikonians Photo
Contest 2005, and to present you their outstanding images.
Our
congratulations to all participants and to the winners. |
