TAHOE WINTER ANNUAL 2012
VISUAL WINNER, RUNNER-UP, AND SELECTIONS
With pride in our community, Moonshine Ink presents the fourth Tahoe Winter Annual.
That little, weather-telling varmint may have already reared his head for the rest of the world, but here in Tahoe we’re holding onto hope that more snow is on the way. The challenge of the dry winter was dourly reflected in submissions for this year’s Tahoe Winter Annual, in fact only two images of skiing were submitted!*
Still, there was a stylistic variety this year that surpassed past years and a playfulness that pervaded throughout — the Tahoe spirit perseveres, with determination and humor. Thank you to everyone who submitted; we applaud the courage to put your creative work out there!
This year, we had winners in two categories — visual and written. Congratulations to Ramsey Etchison, the visual winner, and Matt McDonald, the written winner — each received $250 for Gear, Beer, and Dinner! Deep appreciation to the providers of the prizes: Christy Hill/Pianeta/Pacific Crest, Tahoe Mountain Sports, and New Moon Natural Foods.
Keep up the creativity, dear readers! Summer and winter, submit to annual@moonshineink.com.
*Note: There is no requirement that TWA submissions be from the current year.
