Senior Hayward Metcalf received best-of-show honors in the annual Association of Texas Photographers Instructors (ATPI) annual Fall Contest, it was announced last week.
Metcalf’s winning photograph was an environmental photograph of two cowboys resting at a rodeo.
“Hayward was working on a photographic portfolio of small Texas towns and wanted to incorporate more pictures of people in his work,” Holtberg Master Teacher Scott Hunt said, “so he decided to attend rodeos in some of the towns around here.”
In total, 10 students in Hunt’s photography program earned 23 individual honors.

“What was most gratifying to me,” Hunt said in speaking of the results, “was how excited my boys were with the competition results and the satisfaction that comes when one’s efforts are recognized.”
Nearly 4800 entries were submitted from 100 schools representing eight states and one U.S. territory.
