Winning Photo
Former Beaufort Gazette photographer Sue Jarrett recently won Best In Show in the 2011 St. Augustine Alligator Farm 18th Annual Photography Contest. The photograph shows a snowy egret and a tri-colored or Louisiana Heron arguing over air space.
This year's contest was judged by wildlife photographer Robert O'Toole. Entries were received from all over the United States and parts of Canada. With nearly 400 photos submitted, O'Toole faced quite a challenge during the selection process. This year’s winning photographs will be on display at the St. Augustine Alligator Farm and on its website www.alligatorfarm.us/photography.html
Earlier this year Jarrett also had a wildlife photo selected in a juried competition for display in the St. Augustine Art Association Spring Show, and in 2009 and 2010 Jarrett was a finalist in the annual Nature's Best Photography Magazine competitions.
Besides wildlife photography awards, Jarrett won numerous photojournalism awards from the South Carolina Press Association while working at The Beaufort Gazette and from the Iowa Press Women Inc. when working for The Ottumwa Courier. In 1996 Jarrett won first place in the Photojournalism category of Popular Photography Magazine's Great Picture Contest.
Jarrett is a member of Nikon Professional Services, World Wildlife Fund, National Wildlife Federation, African Wildlife Foundation, North America Nature Photographers Association, Carolina Nature Photographers Association, the Photography Club of Beaufort and the Beaufort Art Association.
