New Mexico Magazine, a division of the New Mexico Tourism Department, is proud to announce the winners of its 10th annual Photo Contest.
The winning images appear in the magazine’s January 2011 issue, available on newsstands now.
“Not only is the New Mexico Magazine Photo Contest a showcase of the breadth and beauty of our great state, it also represents the photographic talents of people who love New Mexico, many of whom are our readers,” said Publisher Ethel Hess.
One grand-prize winner was awarded, in addition to first-, second-, and third-place honors in six categories. There were also 21 honorable mentions.
Twenty-four pages of the magazine’s January 2011 issue are devoted to 43 award-winning photos. More than 240 non-professional photographers submitted more than 1,100 images. Of those, more than half of the entries were from residents of 40 cities and towns in New Mexico. The rest came from residents of 31 other states.
