Lights, camera, ocean! Summer may be nearly over, but we couldn't let the season pass by without sharing the results of our 2023 Summer Photo Contest.
We asked RPL Realtors® to capture the sparkle and charm of summer in New England and share these images with us. Although we received many colorful and evocative entries, we managed to narrow down the field to a group of six finalists before turning it over to our friends on Facebook to select a winner. We'd like to thank all of the agents who participated in the contest, as well as our entire Facebook community for once again helping us pick a winner.
The contest received a total of 464 votes, with the top two finalists garnering more than half of the total votes (58% combined). While there were several deserving photos, only one could be named our champion. It's with great pleasure that we announce that RPL Sales Associate Sarah Kirwin Brady of our Newport office is the winner of the 2023 RPL Summer Photo Contest with her photo "Gooseberry Beach" taken in Newport. This majestic image suffused with memories of childhood received a total of 151 votes.
Congratulations to Sarah on her winning photo for which she will receive a free Bronze or Silver marketing package from the RPL Marketing Department. See the full contest results below:
