MuseumPhotoContest2012

The Brown County Museum of History announced the winners of their photography contest that is currently on display.

Sulema Orr won first place at the exhibit for her photo titled “Memories.”  Nelle Coursey won second place for her photo “Looking Back.”  Coursey also won the people’s choice  award for her photo “Lest We Forget.”

The first and second place awards were based on creativity and the people’s choice award was selected by the public.

The exhibit called “History Through the Photographer’s Lens” features photos taken by the Brownwood Art Association’s Photography Group. The group recently held a photo shoot and captured interesting images from within the museum.
