1st Place, Fernando Lopez (Professional)
The boardroom where we screen and judge the photos for “Focus on Nevada” never fails to turn into a paaaar-tay of oohing, aahing and other bespoke exclamations of delight. Our sixth annual contest was no exception: The more than 1,200 entries inspired awe, amusement and more than a few eruptions of “How’d they get that shot?!” Thanks to all the photographers who entered. It was the most fun we’ve ever had making really hard decisions.
And congratulations to the winners on the pages that follow — not just for taking some amazing snaps, but for broadening and refreshing our shared vision of the state we call home.
