Ocracoke Island Realty's 2011 Photo Contest Winners
The winners of Ocracoke Island Realty's 2011 Photo Contest have been chosen and I am happy to share them with you now. This year we had categories for entries so we had a winner for each category plus a grand prize winner.
Each year we get hundreds and hundreds of great pictures sent to us and I know from experience that it is very, very hard to pick winners.
Thank you to everyone who submitted photos and congratulations to all of our winners!!
Each category winner will receive a gift certificate good for $100 toward a stay in any of Ocracoke Island Realty's vacation homes, at any time of year.
The Grand Prize winner will receive a gift certificate good for $150 toward a stay in any of Ocracoke Island Realty's vacation homes, at any time of year.
Grand Prize winner & People category winner
This Grand Prize winning photo was submitted by Rhoda Byers of Wylie, Texas.
It captures her brother and his nieces and nephew heading to the "fishing hole".
Rhoda and her siblings were suprised by their father with a week in an OIR vacation home for a
summer getaway. It looks like they made the very best of it.
This photo also won the People category.
Thanks, Rhoda!
Lighthouse category winner
Submitted by Angel Randazzo of Mooresville, NC, this photo proves that Ocracoke has a variety of
wildlife. She stated that many people have pictures of the lighthouse but not many have
pictures of a rat visiting the lighthouse. I venture to say that she is correct on that one.
This is actually a nutria. Nutria are large, herbivorous, semiaquatic rodents and they appear
around the island from time to time.
Thank you, Angel!
Beach Scene category winner
This photo was also submitted by Angel Randazzo.
The family was amazed that her husband found this perfect seashell
while fishing in waist deep water. It must have been one of those beautiful days
when the water was warm and clear.
Thanks again, Angel!
Sunrise Sunset category winner
Joe Kuttenkuler of Glen Allen, PA submitted this photo of a sanddollar sunset over Pamlico Sound.
Beautiful!
Thanks, Joe!
Children category winner
Georgia Beach of Manteo, NC submitted this photo of a proud Haley.
Haley caught 2 fish at once on her hot pink fishing rod.
Way to go!!
Thanks, Georgia!
On The Water category winner
Lori McGeehan submitted this interesting photo of a blue crab that was caught with a
clam rake. Nice shot.
Thanks, Lori!
Pets category winner
Mary Kay Flick shared this photo of an Ocrakitty. Ocrakitties abound on the island. If you
get a chance you should give one a forever home.
Thank you, Mary Kay!
Around The Village category winner
Deirdre McKeown of Sneads Ferry, NC was able to capture this great photo of a pelican
that flew by as she was standing on a dock on Silver Lake.
Thank you, Deirdre!
Once again a big CONGRATULATIONS to our Grand Prize and Category winners and a big THANK YOU to all who submitted photos for this year's contest.
We are looking forward to more great pictures in 2012!
