If
a picture is worth a thousand words, then a group of 1,000 pictures
is priceless – and for
the judges of the “Oyster Bay Photo Finish” contest,
choosing the cream of that crop proved extremely difficult!
In September during “Owner
Appreciation Weeks,” owners
were offered the chance to win cash prizes by taking their best
shots of the Resort with disposable cameras provided by us. Our
judges
were so bowled over by the number of entries and by the quality
of the results
that they decided they needed extra time to select the best ones.
While
many of the submissions beautifully illustrated the allure of Oyster
Bay and St. Maarten, the judges found several that were
especially
striking – so much so that they convinced us to add an “honorable
mention” category to the first, second and third prizes
already being offered.
And the winners are (drum roll, please!):
First Prize ($500)
John Fado & Gayle Wire, Lebanon,
NJ
Second Prize ($350)
Kevin & Kendra Schramm, Oswego, IL
Third Prize ($150)
Thomas Kerkstra, Downers Grove, IL
Honorable Mention ($50 each)
Marlene Swoboda, Antioch, IL
Laura Viets, Florissant, MO
John Fado & Gayle Wire, Lebanon, NJ
(To view the
winning entries and other notable contest photos, please see our photo
gallery.)
Congratulations to all of the winners,
who will be receiving their prizes shortly. And for anyone who didn’t win a prize, don’t
despair – you can still earn a $50 credit toward any Oyster
Bay activities (excluding food and beverage purchases) if we use
any of
your contest photos within the next year on our website.
Many thanks to everyone who submitted
entries to our first photo contest! It was such a success that we plan
on offering it again next year.
For those who participated, your photos will be returned within the
next few weeks so that you can add these unforgettable images to
your albums. We also hope you’ll share your Oyster Bay photos
with friends and family to give them a sense of what makes our Resort
so
special.
And for those of you who weren’t able to participate, make sure
to keep your schedule open so that you can join us next year – and
maybe it will be YOUR picture that takes first prize!
