Lisle Parks and Recreation Photography Contest Winners Announced

Lisle, IL – On Thursday, January 17 at the monthly meeting of the Lisle Park District Board of Park Commissioners, the winners of the 2018 ‘Capture Lisle Parks and Recreation Photography Contest’ were announced, including awards for first place, second place, third place, and fourth place. Participants were asked to submit photographs taken at any park district parks, facilities, events, and programs in 2018.

The highest award for first place was presented to Lisle High School student Joey Chan, whose mother accepted on his behalf, for his original photograph, “Don’t Be Ordinary,” taken at the skate park located in Lisle Community Park. Joey’s photo is now on display at the Lisle Park District Recreation Center, 1925 Ohio Street. The honor for second place was awarded to Scarlett Winterburn for her fun “Darling at Depot Days” photograph, taken during the Depot Days event at The Museums at Lisle Station Park. Cindi Aber, who beautifully captured the “First Day of Fall” in Lisle Community Park, was the third place winner. Last but not least, fourth place was given to Dana Mali and her portrayal of a day fishing at Community Park, with “No Bites. No Problem”. All four photographs can be seen in the 2019 Lisle Park District Winter/Spring brochure and on the Lisle Park District website at lisleparkdistrict.org/photographycontest.
