1st Place, David Parkes -“Snow blanketing Capitol Hill”

Many thanks to all the artists who submitted their work! In images (and words) they convey their unique and personal views of what makes a home a “Capitol Hill Home”.

2nd Place, Patrick Serfass  (the Capitol Hill Home as an igloo?)

3rd Place Margit Leiner-Henry – ” I wanted to highlight a maybe overlooked detail such as a wrought iron fence that seems like a delicate piece of lace through its cover of freshly fallen snow, competing with the still present bold fall colors of a nearby tree.”

Jill Baranick
