- Historical Israel — winner Jody Frankel of Sandy Springs, runner-up Howard Silverman of Atlanta.
- Modern Israel — winner Margery Diamond of Sandy Springs, runner-up Paul Benamy of Atlanta.
Tepper’s photo of a young girl playing in a bomb shelter in Sderot was the grand prize winner.
A panel of six judges picked the winners from more than 70 entries. Every entrant received a professionally printed 5-by-7-inch photo, and the winners received 24-by-36-inch canvas prints, courtesy of Chuck Wolf’s Photo Design Bar. The Atlanta Jewish Times was one of the sponsors of the contest.
