2023 Photo Challenge

"Spring is coming"

Congratulations to all our participants! Going out there to capture Spring is not only fun, it is also an opportunity to show talent.

Photos were divided into four categories: Student and Adult, Landscape and Portrait. See all the entries below.

For the competition, we had several groups voting:

The Whole Community

Anybody could vote for their favorite photos. We called this the POPULAR VOTE.

The Parent Support Group

A small group of PSG members voted for the photograph that best represents the theme. We called this the PSG VOTE.

A Professional Photographer

CAISL usually works with a team of photographers specialized in landscape photography and we asked if they could cast a technical eye. Emídio Copeto Gomes selected the winners. We called this the TECHNICAL VOTE.

Student Group

We also asked a student group to vote on their favorite “Spring” photos. We called this the NEWS TEAM VOTE
