The week-long voting period saw close to 10,000 votes cast, with the 12 finalists and the grand prize winner receiving the most votes.

All 13 finalists will also receive a canvas print of the winning photograph,  be featured in the 2021 Sunrise Credit Union calendars and the soon to be released travel guide “Local Adventures from Sunrise to Sunset”.  In addition, the winning photos will appear on Sunrise Credit Union’s branch TVs and social media channels.
