Postcards, Delivered: Meet the Winners of Our Florida Travel Photo Contest
From crystal-clear springs to starry night skies, these winning photographs capture Florida at its most beautiful.
This summer, Flamingo took a trip through Florida—that is, through our readers’ lenses. We asked you all to submit your best travel photos from across the state for our inaugural Florida Travel Photo Contest, and your postcards have been delivered. From crystal-clear springs to starry skies and a sandy snowman to a duo of St. Pete kayakers, you reminded us that there is so much to love about our Sunshine State. Two photographers came out on top as the winners of our Readers’ Choice and Editors’ Choice categories—R.J. Adler for his dazzling photo of Green Springs Park and Emily Will for making St. Pete pier look like a painting. Scroll to see the full list of winners and honorable mentions.
