Photographers bring Maple Grove into focus.
Over the past year, residents have been cataloging local life around Maple Grove. This summer, these same shutter bugs shared some of their favorite shots in our Focus on Maple Grove photo contest. We can’t thank you enough for sharing our community through your lens. From pet portraits and family snapshots to breathtaking scenes and creative abstracts, your submissions have captured the unique character of our community.
Now, it’s time to explore the winning photographs.
Please note that judges reserve the right to recategorize submissions if they feel the photograph is better suited to a different category.
