The Bobette Williamson Award for Excellence
in Photography at The Highlands
Mel Nunn, Bobette Williamson’s husband, has created an award that combines Bobette’s love for photography, the Highlands Photo Club, and the Highlands community. This Award is titled “The Bobette Williamson Award for Excellence in Photography at The Highlands.”
This Award recognizes excellence in photography at The Highlands by presenting a cash award of $300 to the “Best of Show” winner at the Highlands Annual Community Photo Contest for the next five years beginning with the 2026 contest.
The “Best of Show” designation is made by a professional photographer hired from outside the Highlands Community to judge all entries in the contest. Since none of these entries have any identifiers other than the contest photo entry number assigned by the Photo Club, they are anonymous to the professional judge.
Because this contest is open to all members of the Highlands Community, all participants, whether members of the Photo Club or not, have an equal chance of receiving this annual Award.
By connecting this award to the “Best of Show” recognition, we celebrate Bobette’s passion for photography, her commitment to the Highlands Photo Club, and her dedication to the Highlands community—all through this single award.
This Award is being administered by the Highlands Photo Club therefore any questions regarding the award can be sent to Gail Becker, Photo Club President at mailto:president@highlandsphoto.club
