2010 Merriewold Morgan Horse Photo Contest Winners Announced!

Merriewold Morgan Photo ContestSeptember brought to close the very first Merriewold Morgans’ photo contest. What a fun and enjoyable contest it was!

The Judges pondered hard and long on the selection, but in the end, stuck to the overall criteria set out in the rules…artistic creativity, a natural theme and effectiveness in conveying the beauty or unique character of the Morgan horse.

Other determining factors were the quality (the technical correctness of the image taken). They felt that if the lighting and focus were improved on some of the pics, they would have placed better.
Merriewold Morgans would like to thank the sponsors of the Magnificent Morgan Horse Photo Contest for their participation and donation of the fantastic 1st, 2nd and 3rd place prizes. Please visit their websites below, when you are shopping for their products and services.
 Another big thank you goes out to all the participants for submitting such great images! The Judges’ enjoyed them so much that they selected several Honorable Mentions. These contestants were surprised with a free organic tote bag from the owner of Merriewold Morgans, Diana Wold.
Congratulations to all the winners! Here are the contest results:
