Welcome to week five of the Kane County Regional Office of Education’s 2016 Student Photo Contest!

Part of what makes this contest exciting is the diversity in the submissions each week. This week, we saw 64 submissions! The hardest part was narrowing it down to the top 10. This week’s winners are from Geneva Community High School, West Aurora High School, Batavia High School, Dundee-Crown High School and Hampshire High School.

The ROE is excited to announce an update on the Photography Reception being hosted from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Dec. 15 at Water Street Studios in Batavia. The ROE has partnered with Image Awards to create trophies for the winners of each week of the contest. Stay tuned each week for more information on the Photography Reception.

Public and Private High Schools are encouraged to submit their students’ work to Mike Ademe at the Kane County Regional Office of Education.
