About the Daily Postcard Photography Contest:

Los Alamos residents Robert and Ann Wells established a fund in 2017 at the Los Alamos Arts Council whose purpose is to award a prize of $100 to the photographer who submits the best photograph of the quarter published as a Daily Postcard in the Los Alamos Daily Post newspaper.

“We have been impressed by the steady development of the Los Alamos Daily Post as a comprehensive community news source and have especially enjoyed the variety of photos submitted for publication by local citizens. The photo prize hopefully will motivate even more variety of photos and provide recognition for local photographers, which may be of particular benefit to those considering professional careers,” Robert Wells said at the time.

Robert and Ann Wells asked that a panel of three photographers be chosen, one by the Wells, one by Post staff and one by the Los Alamos Arts Council. The photographers for this third quarter of 2021 award are Ken Hanson, T.K. Thompson and Don Taylor.

Local photographers are encouraged to submit photos for consideration to caclark@ladailypost.com.
