Prizes will be awarded for each category: Parks, Recreation, and Cultural Activities. There will also be one Grand Prize winner. Winners are scheduled to be announced on December 2, 2019 at alexandriava.gov/Recreation and on social media. All winning photographs will be displayed on the Parks and Recreation website and at the Lee Center, and all winning photographers will receive an award certificate in addition to their prize.
