Big and many thanks to all of our entrants! We invite you to take some time to admire the above photos and all of the excellent submissions on WUPFSC’s new flickr page, where we are slowly working to upload our photos to better highlight the abundance of your good work! Please note that not all participants wished to share their photos with the public, so the flickr page shares those who did.
Special thanks to this year’s judges: Joyce Budreau, Elena Busova, Brody Ekberg, Amy Nosal, and Lauren Jescovitch, Alex Palzewicz, and Kathleen Harter.
And much appreciation to Matt Fooy, Beth Bartel, and Meghan Schultz, Michigan Tech students in the Fall 2020 Communities & Research class, for the time, energy and heart they put into creating and organizing the contest this year. Their work will make it easy to run the photo contest in future years.
Gratitude,
Western UP Food Systems Collaborative
