And The Lucky OTTB Photo Contest Winners Are…
Wednesday, March 20 2013
By Jan Westmark-Allan If you followed the Sidelines Magazine OTTB (off-the-track-Thoroughbred) Photo Contest , then you know that judging the contest wasn’t going to be easy. It was a “PHOTO” contest – so our judges (an independent panel, unpaid) judged based on the photo and the description of the photo. I am thankful I didn’t have to help judge (too much pressure!!) but I am thrilled with their results and I think they did a great job! The best part of the contest – as I know all of you will agree – was seeing the hundreds and hundreds of photos of rescued OTTBs now living their amazing and wonderful lives! It brings tears to my eyes just to think of all of the people who rescued former racehorses – I am so proud of all of you – you are all winners in my book!! The four top winners and four top runner-ups will appear in the May issue of Sidelines – the 20 Honorable Mention photos will only appear on the website (and in another blog I will post soon).
