Winners received $100 and an award certificate which was presented by Mayor Gene Maxwell at a recognition ceremony at the City Council meeting on February 17, 2009.

All winning photos were framed and are on display at The Depot Coffee House beginning March 28 until June 13. The framed images will then be available for other events or displays, but their permanent home will be City Hall. Furthermore, the winners and even some of the non-winning photos may be used in other City publications, so keep your eyes open for great images of Hopkins!
