The city of Orinda recently announced the winners of the Adore Orinda photo contest launched last year. The contest was open to photographers of all ages and skill levels; entrants were separated into two divisions, youth (17 years and younger) and adult (18 years and older). There were a total of four photo categories and each entrant was able to submit one entry in each of the four categories if desired. The four categories were: parks and open space; built environment; community life; and digitally altered. The judging panel included Orinda Mayor Eve Phillips, Clay Deanhardt, chair of the Orinda Parks and Recreation Commission, and Rich Thompson, chair of the Orinda Arts in Public Places Committee.

The panel viewed the submitted photos without the names of the photographer and were asked to rank their top five in each category. The photos with the most points were determined to be the winner. Below are the winners:
