Judges have made their selections of winners of the 2019 Focus on the Boro community photography project, and project organizers announced winners at a June 14 reception.

Vicki Graham took the Best in Show award with her “Balancing to a Tea” image, and “Reflecting” by Casey Malone received the Best in Show Runner Up designation.
Abby Byrnes received the Best in Show award in the youth division with her image “Jerusalem Umbrellas.”
