Shutterbugs capture ‘wonderful world’ in photo contestPublished Oct. 31, 2021

            **JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-LACKLAND, Texas (AFNS)  --**The **Air Force Services Center** recently announced its 2021 Air Force Photo Contest winners.
The winners – first, second and third place in five categories – were among more than 950 entries submitted for the annual competition.
This year’s theme was “What a Wonderful World.” Participants could enter up to two images for one of the categories. A panel judged each photo on impact, creativity and technical excellence. Entries were accepted July 1 - Aug. 13.
“It was great to see more entries submitted this year than last year’s contest, and the creativity captured in each of the images was amazing to see,” said Darlene Johnson, Air Force Services Center Community Programs Branch chief.
Due to **COVID-19** restrictions and force support squadron activities closures, there were a limited number of entries last year. Photographers for this contest captured the beauty of nature and people enjoying the great outdoors.
“I loved the subjects showcased under the theme and how the experience levels varied in the contest,” said Patricia Jagger, Travis Air Force Base, California, Arts and Crafts Center director and one of two judges. “I believe what stood out the most for me was the joy captured from coming together again with friends and family, and the rediscovery of nature during and after COVID-19.”
This was the first time Tracy Dusablon, Davis-Monthan AFB, Arizona, Arts and Crafts director, judged entries for the contest, and picking a favorite proved difficult in the process.
“I have done some judging in photography classes but nothing to this scale. I was very impressed with the variety of subjects that the pictures contained,” Dusablon said.
