Brevard, NC (April 1, 2014) – Connestee Falls Property Owners Association (CFPOA) has announced the winners of its Winter 2014 resident photo contest. The CFPOA runs quarterly resident photography contests where residents can enter pictures taken from around the 3,800-acre property.

“I continue to be amazed at what great photographers our residents are,” said CFPOA General Manager Jim Lorah.  “Each quarter our team looks forward to seeing what is always another batch of fantastic images from Connestee Falls, and it’s a real pleasure to be able to promote their work on our website.”

The Fall 2014 competition had 40 photographs entered.  The five winning entries, selected by independent judging, include photographs of the property, residents on an inaugural hike of a recently completed addition to the extensive trail system that covers over 13 miles, picturesque views of the mountains and a stunning shot of Carson Creek waterfall.  The winning photographs are posted on the Connestee Falls Blog at www.connesteefalls.com/blog.
