This past September, the city of Plymouth and staff at Plymouth Magazine congregated a jury of artistic minds to select the winners in what’s becoming an annual photo contest, and this month we’re publicizing the results. In addition to selecting up to three winners in five different categories, the magazine also polled its readers, as photos received online votes through September 30 for the second-ever Readers’ Choice award. Here are the results:
