Winning photos are also displayed in the Augusta Library and on the Town website of townofaugustamo.org under Photo Contest.
A traveling display board with all the entries is currently at Augusta Elementary School. It will make the trek from the school to the Augusta Library around the district Christmas break. All those who entered can show their pictures to relatives and friends at the Library throughout the winter months.
The 2026 contest schedule will be available on the Town website in the new year and in the January issue of the Boone Country Connection.
