Students submitted 140 images, and judges at Bank of Marin made the final photo selections.

”We are committed to supporting our local schools in a variety of ways, through financial contributions, volunteerism, and partnerships, such as this year’s collaboration for our annual calendar,” said Russell Colombo, President and CEO for Bank of Marin. “We are very pleased to highlight these talented students and give back to our schools in the process.”

This year’s featured student photographers are:
