This spring, Visit Noble County, Be Noble Inc., and Thrive Noble County called on photographers, amateur to professional, to help shape the perceptions of what it means to "Be Noble" in Noble County, Indiana. Together, we sought submissions of digital photos taken in Noble County that might evoke thoughts of: Change, Energy, Growth, and/or Vision.
VISION, CHANGE, GROWTH, and ENERGY
Over 100 images were submitted to the 2023 #CaptureNoble contest! The images selected from submissions may go on to be exhibited in the offices of local economic development and used in various publications, promotional materials, and at public events, in print, digital, or broadcast formats. Images used will be credited, whenever reasonably possible, to the photographer. Photographers will retain ownership and rights over their image(s).
Overwhelming participation in the contest made narrowing the field to name winners difficult. Below, we present the First Place and Second Place winners in each "thought" category. We are so grateful for all from the community who engaged in #CaptureNoble. Thank you, and congratulations to our winners!
