On Thursday June 2, 2022, PV Magazine along with Megan Mickael images and Studio 347 hosted an informal reception for the winners of this year’s contest.

The photos were judged through a blind judging process by Megan Mickael, Photographer and Owner of Studio 347 Gallery in San Pedro, meganmickaelimages.com, Erik Jay, Featured photographer of the book, Palos Verdes, The Great Peninsula, erikjay.com and Amber Beccera, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Marine Mammal Care Center, marinemammalcare.org.
