Marie Selby Botanical Gardens’ 46th Annual Juried Photographic Exhibition, presented in partnership with the Observer Media Group, is now on view in a virtual gallery at selby.org. The virtual exhibition will remain on view through September 30. Featuring nearly 250 photographs captured by talented photographers across Selby Gardens’ two campuses, the exhibition offers a vivid celebration of the beauty, diversity, and wonder of the botanical world. Outstanding images were recognized with awards, including Best in Show, presented to Alma Groome for Bee Enveloped in a Flower. This year also marks the introduction of the Richard and Ellen Sandor Photography Prize, a new $5,000 annual prize recognizing the most compelling representation of orchids in Selby Gardens Annual Juried Photographic Exhibition. The inaugural prize was awarded to Stan Jernigan for If the Slipper Fits, celebrating an exceptional image that captures the distinctive beauty and allure of these remarkable plants.
