8 | May 17, 2018 | The Lockport Legend news lockportlegend.com Mokena resident wins the 2018 Vacation Photo Contest by reflecting Leave the writing to the pros. Local writing professionals for all your copy needs. Bill Jones, Managing Editor Road trips are about the moments while they are happening. But those moments often lead to fond reflection years later. And this year’s Vacation Photo Contest had Amy Knoop reflecting about, well, a reflection. Last summer, she took a road trip with her daughters Riley and Jaiden along the Florida Gulf Coast. They set out, Knoop said, to experience “sunsets, seashells and swimming.” While they were taking a swimming break to catch the “amazing sunset” in Sanibel Island, Florida, Knoop captured the photo that would end up winning in 22nd Century Media Southwest Chicago’s 2018 Vacation Photo Contest. “The sunset was reflecting off the water, creating a mirror image of the gorgeous sky,” she wrote. “When imagining what a summer family vacation should be, I will forever think of this image, because it sums it all up so beautifully. No filters needed.” Knoop’s winning photo is published on the cover of the 2018 Summer Fun Guide, included with this week’s issue of The Legend. She also won the following Grand Prize Package: gift cards valued at $200 for Gizmos Fun Factory, 66 Orland Square Drive, Suite D, in Orland Park; a gift certificate for two hours of bowling and shoe rentals for up to six people on a lane at Laraway Lanes, 1009 W. Laraway Road in New Lenox (the certificate also includes one 12-inch pizza and one pitcher of pop); four passes, each good for 13 entries for one session for one child at Mokena Community Park District’s Yunker Farm Splash Park, 10824 LaPorte Road in Mokena; a gift certificate for a 45-minute salt cave session at Royal Salt Cave & Spa, 20881 S. La- Grange Road in Frankfort; a gift certificate valued at $25 for Rubi Agave, 12622 W. 159th St. in Homer Glen; a gift certificate valued at $25 for Odyssey Fun World, 19111 Oak Park Ave. in Tinley Park; and six $5 gift certificates from Dairy Queen, 950 E. 9th St. in Lockport. Publisher 22nd Century Media asked area readers for their best vacation photos, this year focusing on a theme of “road trips and winging it.” Entries were judged based on photo quality, originality, capturing the essence of vacation, emphasis on summer and ability to fit the theme. The staff at 22nd Century Media would like to thank everyone who took the time to share their photos and stories with us for this year’s iteration of the contest, as well as the local businesses that donated prizes for our winner.
