“Our area offers many photographic opportunities,” said grand prize winner of the #LoveYourNeighborhood photography competition, Ron Goings. Ron's photo won the #NaturalWonders category of the competition, making him a finalist in the race for the national grand prize. His image was chosen as the top entry by a panel of judges and votes cast by the Nextdoor community.

Additional winners have been chosen representing the following competition categories including:

  • Francesca Austin - Oakland, CA | #Cityscape: A covered bridge, a towering skyscraper, a well-loved treehouse - an image that features a man-made structure
  • Susanne Thompson - Atlanta, GA | #LocalFave: Celebrating the one-of-kind features of a neighborhood - from murals, a local shop or business, a festival or parade
  • Cindy Thomas - Albuquerque, NM | #SunriseSunset: From the first flicker of sunrise to the glow of ‘golden hour,’ images that capture these two special times of day in a neighborhood

“We all know the adage ‘a picture is worth a thousand words,’’' said Sarah Friar, CEO of Nextdoor. “But in reviewing the thousands of images we received just three words reverberated throughout the entries: love your neighborhood. As we head towards the holidays and reflect on the year, these images are a reminder of the inspiration that can be found right outside our doors.”

The grand prize winner will receive a prize package including a new Nikon digital camera, MasterClass subscription, a commemorative coffee table book featuring a selection of entries from the global #LoveYourNeighborhood competitions, and $500 in gift vouchers. The category finalists will also receive a prize package.
