The Stearns County staycation photo contest has come to a close, and the top ten submissions have been selected. The contest called for photographs highlighting citizens’ favorite activities around the county. Over the month of August, the contest brought in approximately 75 submissions from across the county.

The winning photos will be featured on the homepage of the county’s website, as well as displayed in the Administration Center rotunda for the next two weeks and Stearns County Service Center entryway for two weeks after that.

In addition to having their photographs featured around the community and possibly in future brochures, newsletters and flyers, winners will also receive a staycation prize package including gift certificates donated by local businesses.
