Thanks to all the Charlotte photographers that participated in the 2013 City Block Project featuring Plaza Midwood. As usual, the artwork was fabulous and the winning entries were deserving. For those that don’t know, the City Block Project is a 24-hour photo contest where photographers rub elbows with each other to capture the best image. As long as the image shows something within the block (it changes each year) then it can be submitted, and any retouching or special effects are allowed. For each entry submitted, a participant gets two votes towards the winner, and they can vote for anybody but themselves – truly a jury of your peers!

Here are the winning entries:

1st place – James Dancy
