Virginia Church Wins 2009 VBS Photo Contest
Photos from churches in six states and Indonesia were selected as finalists.
For the first time, submissions to the contest were archived into geographically labeled albums at the LifeWay News page on Facebook. Visitors to Facts & Trends Online voted for their favorite image from a group of 10 finalists chosen by LifeWay staff.
Photos from Virginia, Missouri, Florida, Iowa, Kansas, Georgia and Indonesia were selected as contest finalists.
In the end, voters gave the winning image, a bird’s-eye view of VBS attendees performing the Boomerang Express musical, 38 percent of the nearly 1,200 votes cast in this year’s contest. Images from Pioneer Baptist Church in Clewiston, Fla., and Liberty Baptist Church in Everton, Mo., came in a close second and third respectively.
Salem Baptist Church will receive a 2010 VBS Super Sampler, courtesy of LifeWay’s VBS area.
All photos will remain archived on Facebook and the winning image, along with the other finalists, will be featured on Facts & Trends Online.
