In addition to the winners, we’ve also chosen runner up photos in each category. You will find these selections below. Following the runner up selections is the gallery. I encourage everyone to look through all of the photographs. They each share a unique message about the movement. Enjoy!

Gallery

At the start of this contest, we set the objective of creating a collection of photos that truly represented the many different facets of the movement: the inspiration, the humor, the creative, the joy, and the sweat. I think you’ll agree after perusing the gallery, this objective has been accomplished.

The winning photos were chosen because of their appeal to the theme of the contest, their appropriateness to a given category, and the quality of their captions. There were many wonderful photos submitted, so this decision was very difficult. We’d like to thank everyone who sent in photos. We are grateful that you shared so many powerful and moving images with us. Due to the volume of photos that were submitted, we were unable to post every photo in the gallery. We did include at least one photo from each contestant, however.

Congratulations to the winners and enjoy the gallery!
