Honorable Mention
The photo was taken at the quad of my high school. It relates to adventure because because it looks the character is on his way to an adventure. The umbrella gives it a Mary-Poppins like look.

The photograph was taken at the 90.7 FM fundraiser backyard show happening in North Hollywood, CA. The image showcases adventure because it demonstrates how the Los Angeles music scene may look like. Shows are a way of introducing people to new music genres and the California punk scene.

This is a picture of my dog in my backyard. I think this picture shows adventure because my dog is still so young that everything is an adventure and new to him. He was playing in my backyard and having a lot of fun. He was exploring every part of my back yard. Even when he is playing all by himself, he always finds a way to have an adventure.
Honorable Mention
My photograph portrays the theme of adventure through the two amusement rides displayed in this composition's arrangement. In my interpretation of this picture, the amusement rides symbolize how life offers a variety of excursions we can go on and enjoy all year round that never go out of season.

Amusement rides are like adventures. These moving mechanical structures are built to transform individuals to experience every up and down, twist and turn of the ride, similar to the unique journey of life we undergo. In addition, riders can face obstacles and become stuck in a ride but surpass them. It could be through the assistance of others or through trusting yourself and being resilient. Amusement rides represent the pacing we choose to progress our adventure in. We could advance with persistence on a rollercoaster one day or find ourselves on something slow and steady, like a Ferris wheel the next. Whichever adventure we choose to embrace, we will inevitably reach the destination meant for us.

The radiant colors bestowed on each particular seat of the ride define that each personal journey accepts the equivalent amount of ups and downs that life unfolds to the individual. It is ultimately up to the individual to line up and show up every day to let the ride take them on their experience in part of what it has in store for their adventure.
Honorable Mention
The adventure of this photo is ongoing, getting to hit different destinations on the way and experiencing a never ending adventure filled with unknown obstacles. Small towns have many different scenery that anyone can make beautiful with different angles and lighting, you don't have to always go out to big cities.

This photo was taken at Sensorio Paso Robles, CA. I took this photo away from my hometown. I traveled five hours to get there.

My class went on a hike. I took this closeup of a cobweb while on this adventure. I like to take photos while I am hiking around.
Honorable Mention
The photo was taken on my schools backyard. It's adventurous because it's a hard challenge to cross in the mud.

This photo was taken when I went to visit the beautiful campus of UC Riverside on a rainy, gloomy day. This relates to the theme of adventure because I decided to take a trip to this school even with the weather not being the best, highlighting how I am willing to endure setbacks to have a good time and ultimately to travel a journey, while putting myself out there.

This photograph was taken in our driveway at home. My son loves to run up and down the driveway on rainy days and jump in all of the puddles. On this day in particular it was time for his cars to go on a road trip adventure down the driveway to get mail. Of course the driver had to traverse through all of the steep hills and huge lakes created by the rain. I love watching my son as he lets his imagination run wild on extraordinary adventures. He turns ordinary tasks into grand adventures!
Honorable Mention
This is an image of the outdoors in my community during a rainstorm. It relates to the theme of "Adventure" by commenting on the treacherous aspects of exploring and going on an adventure. Putting ourselves out in the world, to embrace our curiosity, isn't all sunshine and rainbows. An adventure includes some hardships, and only once a journey is accomplished will there be rainbows. We must not only push towards the result, but also embrace the discomfort of the journey, as those are important memories to take forward throughout the rest of our lives.

This picture relates to adventure because it show the beauty you find in an adventure. To me, an adventure is what you take to learn something about yourself.
Honorable Mention
My family took a vacation which was nothing short of an epic adventure. We visited local ball parks, national parks and when we were hiking we came across this beautiful piece of heaven. This photo represents the beauty of enjoying an adventure!
Honorable Mention
Photo was taken in Fall 2023 in Temecula, California. Fueled by liquified gas stored in pressure vessels, the fire that spews out from the burner heats and fills the balloon. The balloon filled with rising hot air lifts off the ground, marking the beginning of a new adventure.

The ski lift whirls around and sweeps me off my feet. Sailing through the air, the lift takes us higher and higher up the snow-covered mountain. We're in California, but this isn't a movie set; yet, we sit under the limelight of the sun shining down on us. Today is my first time learning how to snowboard. Most of the other kids are taking snowboarding lessons on the bunny slopes, but for me, I'm riding up the ski lift to the top of China Peak alongside my father. Nervously, I think, "Maybe I should have started on the bunny slopes," but no. I wanted to see the world from the top of the mountain! This is my adventure; this is my California.
Honorable Mention
I took this photo when I was taking a walk at my boyfriend’s grandma's house. She has a lot of property to take walks on and it feels like an adventure. It was taken recently at the time of the Super Bowl, and I wanted to take a walk before the game started. It looked like it was going to rain but the weather fooled people. When I took this picture it was blocked off by a gate and I went around the gate. There was a bridge that you go through and it's where I took this image. I stood on the edge to get the best view. I took multiple shots but this was the best because it included the sky that looked more full in the picture. It's an image where I see myself sitting there in silence and thinking in my own world.
Contest Winner
My family went on a trip to Yosemite. I took the photo with a leading line that sends your eyes into the Yosemite tunnel view and it makes you ask what adventure will come next. Perspective was an important focus for me in this shot. This was a rare occasion when my family went on an adventure.
Not Selected
This photo was taken at Mammoth Lakes on a road trip with my family. We stopped by a hot spring and in the parking lot, we discovered a new way to pitch up a tent. This photo shows adventure through the thought that the person in that car was exploring the world and just camping out at this spot. Having the tent on the car shows that they're always on the move.
Honorable Mention

You can find different ways

Honorable Mention
We went on a hike with my class to take some photos. I saw this rocky trail while I was walking. It was my favorite photo from the group I took.
