***MAY Photo Contest WINNERS***

[mnhtnbb]

The THEME for the MAY PHOTO Contest was: Sacred/Inspirational Places/Spaces. It was chosen in honor and memory of those who have been victims of hate crimes in their houses of worship, or for the loss of those structures due to arson, bombing, accidental fire, or acts of nature. This was not about religion, but about the freedom to choose among the diverse ways we connect our souls to our families, our communities, our past and our yearning for meaning in life.


It was a contest with an amazing group of wonderful photographs! Thanks to all the photographers who participated, and all of you on DU who voted in the contest.
