11th Annual Member Photo Contest

Thank you to everyone who entered the 2026 Member Photo Contest!  The judges had the challenging task of choosing from more than 70 photos of Hatteras Island. 

Congratulations to our first-place winner, James Debuchananne, for his photo titled “Down Under”. James captured this photo on the south end of the Basnight Bridge over Oregon Inlet.

Our second-place winner is Deb Hoyt, for her photo “Ramp 43” taken at sunrise near Cape Point in Buxton. 

The third-place winner is Brian Wharton for his photo titled, “Morning Pamlico Sunrise”.  Brian took this photo of a duck blind while on a morning paddle in the Pamlico Sound off Frisco.

These three photos, along with nine other entries from the contest will be featured in our 2027 Member Calendar, available at our Annual Meeting and in the office thereafter. All winning photos can be viewed in the gallery below.
