The Octoraro Watershed Association (OWA) recently announced the winners of the 5th annual photography contest. 

Eighty entries were submitted in four categories for youth and adults: Wildlife, Landscapes, Trail Camera, and Agriculture. All photos will now be a part of a traveling display to local libraries— Atglen, Oxford, and Quarryville—starting in May and running throughout the summer. 

Chotty Sprenkle, the contest organizer, said, “We received many entries this year with notable photos taken within the Octoraro watershed.”

OWA also partnered with Octoraro Area High School, Amanda Keifer, educator, and the “Students of the Watershed” members for a robust youth submission of 40 photographs. 

Jenifer Warren, the vice president of the Oxford Area Historical Association, and her son Finn judged the photo contest. The results are as follows:
