Grand Prize Winner 2024 (Photo: Business Wire)
Deb Gaston from the Orleans-Harwich Nextdoor neighborhood in
Massachusetts is this year’s grand prize winner for her photo of
her dog Shelby, reflecting on the sunrise during an early morning
walk on the beach.
“It was low tide,” said Deb Gaston, grand prize winner of the
#LoveYourNeighborhood photo contest 2024. “Shelby and I were alone
somewhere between the beautiful bayside beaches of Chapin and
Mayflower on Cape Cod. As I looked left to see the sunrise, what I
saw stopped me in my tracks. I could hardly believe my eyes and
frantically fumbled for the phone. She did it all on her
own...appreciating the beauty of the sunrise in this special corner
of the world.”
Nextdoor neighbors nationwide voted Gaston’s photo as their
favorite from a selection of six finalists. Two additional
runner-up winners, Sharon Smith of the Rose Garden, California
Nextdoor neighborhood and David Swanson of the Willow Lake, Arizona
Nextdoor neighborhood received the second and third-most votes. The
full list of finalists are:
- Sharon Smith | Neighborhood: Rose Garden, CA (Runner-up)
Besties in Brentwood “One of my best friends and I are hiking
buddies and now our daughters are best friends and hiking buddies.
It’s wonderful to share this amazing friendship and the beautiful
outdoors together. I feel so blessed that we have so many beautiful
places nearby to enjoy each other and the great outdoors.” - Sharon
Smith
- David Swanson | Neighborhood: Willow Lake, AZ (Runner-up) Eagle
catching fish in Arizona “Wildlife photography has always been a
passion of mine. Moving to Prescott, Arizona has given me the
opportunity to experience and photograph nature first hand. It is a
magical moment to see a Bald Eagle fishing let alone capture that
moment with my camera. As a nature photographer I consider myself
lucky to live in such an awesome place.” - David Swanson
- Brad Eyster | Neighborhood: The Park at Locust Creek, KY Long
Run Creek in Louisville “Locust Creek, on the far eastern edge of
Louisville, has significant wooded green space. Our dog Beau loves
daily hikes on the unique trail running beside Long Run Creek. This
photo captures the incredible beauty of the area on a crisp morning
after a winter storm.” - Brad Eyster
- Gretchen Shipman | Neighborhood: Armatage, MN Now serving
happiness in Minneapolis “The day this photo was taken was our
wedding day in Minnesota. We had our good friend Stacy Saindon (who
also lives in the neighborhood) officiate our wedding in our
backyard. The word ‘happy’ was used several times throughout that
day, and when we walked up the street to the Red Wagon pizza to
celebrate with our friends, everyone said ‘You have to have your
picture taken in front of this sign!’ So we did and it turned out
to be one of our best photos yet. I love our neighborhood because
it’s walkable to so many great restaurants and shops.” - Gretchen
Shipman
- Steve Zwillinger | Neighborhood: Kite Hill, CA San Francisco
through the trees “Every morning, I walk out our front door for
my daily walk and am greeted by this inspiring neighborhood view of
my magnificent city of San Francisco. Brilliant sunrises, foggy
mornings, atmospheric rivers…I’ve seen them all. This image
connects strongly to my creative core. So much so that this one
photo sparked the creation of Zwilly Prints, a gathering of my
artwork that captures the magical lens through which I see the
world. The power of an image.” - Steve Zwillinger
“We were overwhelmed at the wave of entries as neighbors across
the country shared a glimpse at their day-to-day lives, once in a
lifetime moments, backyards and city streets,” said Sarah Friar,
Chief Executive Officer at Nextdoor. “It’s clear from this and past
contests, that a love of the animals in our lives connects us.
We’re taking that note and our next #LoveYourNeighborhood photo
contest will focus on the pets and creatures in our local
communities. Congratulations to all the finalists and winners, and
a sincere thank you to everyone who participated and shared the
wonder of their neighborhoods.”
This latest #LoveYourNeighborhood photo contest inspired the
largest number of neighbor submissions for the contest series to
date. The grand prize winner will receive a prize package with an
approximate retail value (ARV) of $3,000, and each of the two
runners-up will receive a prize package with an ARV of $1,000.
