Save the Bay Photo
Contest Winners!
Every spring, much like the return of the osprey, CBF holds its annual Save the
Bay Photo Contest. This year we had over 1,000 entries—all more beautiful than
the next. It was a difficult task, but the judges were able to finalize their decision
after much discussion. The winners are shown here. Thanks to all our contestants for their spectacular photographs. We hope to see them all—and you—again
next year!
