Celebrating Astoria’s first-ever Fall Photography contest
Creativity was in full swing on December
18th at Give Me Astoria’s office as the nominees
for the first-ever Give Me Fall photography
contest came together to celebrate their
nominations.
Photographers had the opportunity to
mingle and view the printed versions of their
nominated photographs on display throughout
the office. The first-ever #GiveMeFall
photography contest award was presented to
Theo Sahos, for his ‘Born of Leaves’ submission
which won with a combined total of 1,937 likes
and 68 comments on all of Give Me Astoria’s
social media profiles.
The photography contest spanned throughout
the duration of the fall, and received nearly 100
submissions from photographers in the area.
Submissions were accepted from September
through the first week of December. Photographs
were featured on Give Me Astoria’s Facebook,
Instagram, and Twitter profiles, and votes
were tallied based on the number of likes and
comments for each photo.
Give Me Astoria would like to thank all who
submitted their wonderful photography and
who participated in a fun initiative to bring
our creative, vibrant community together. A
very special thank you to all involved, but
specifically to the ten #GiveMeFall nominees:
• Theo Sahos, ‘Born of Leaves’
• Justin Wilson, ‘The Candied Apple’
• Brendan Quigley, ‘Hell Gate as the Leaves Turn’
• Mark DiConzo, ‘Falling Between Two Bridges’
• Vito Oliva, ‘Astoria Park: Fall Hell Gate’
• Jade Oliver, ‘Fall Under the Hell Gate’
• Gildo Spado, ‘Fire Gate’
• John Randazzo, ‘Autumn at Astoria Park’
• Raphael Gonzalez, ‘The Colors of Fall’
• Gracie Coston, ‘On Top of the Astoria
Park Pool’
For those who are interested in participating,
Give Me Astoria currently has its first-ever
winter photography contest, Give Me Winter,
underway. Participants have a chance to submit
their best Astoria winter photo in order for
an opportunity to be featured on Give Me
Astoria’s social media profiles and a chance
to be nominated.
Give Me Astoria would also like to thank
photographer George Pantelakis for his
photography work throughout the evening!
