25TH ANNUAL PHOTO CONTEST

Wally Hawkins, a rising fine art and landscape photographer, whose work is gaining momentum across the Las Vegas Valley. Most recently, Wally won top honors in the City of Las Vegas’ 25th Annual Photo Contest, which saw a record-breaking 250 submissions this year under the theme "Celebration of Life."

Wally’s winning photo—a black and white image capturing a joyful, cinematic moment of friends walking off into happiness—is now on display and available for purchase at the Charleston Heights Arts Center (800 Brush St.) through September. Visitors have been drawn to the photo, with many even stopping to take pictures of it on the wall.
