Thanks to everyone who participated in our #StrongGirlsCan tween/teen photo contest. The results are in. Dance around, throw your hands in the air, toss confetti!
The winner of this contest was determined by Patty Christopher of Patty Christopher Photography and Girls Empowering Girls Everywhere. Thank you, Patty! Patty was looking for a single photo which captured the spirit of a strong girl. In addition, color, composition, and light were also factors in determining a winner.
Below you will find notes from Patty on four of her favorite #StrongGirlsCan photos. Keep scrolling, and you will discover an additional photo I found unique. To all of the girls who submitted, thanks for showing us the world through your lens.

Addtional Top Three Photos
1. Guitar by Auburn B. age 11 Notes from our judge, Patty: I love the depth of field in this picture. The guitar strings create “leading lines” that draw the eye from one hand to the other. Good focus on her forward fingers. The pink fingernails are great.

2. Three Girls by Holden B. age 10 Notes from our judge, Patty: Shot from behind is a unique perspective. Great depth of field (girls in focus, other people not), and good lighting. Again, fantastic message of young girls helping others.

Amy’s fave
Strong Girls Inspire Other Strong Girls by Ellie V. age 11 Notes from Amy: This submission struck me because it was different than all of the others. Eleanor Roosevelt was one of the most active first ladies in history and a leader who fought for humanitarian causes her entire life. Thanks for reminding us of her importance, Ellie!
