The Dance Parade Team is proud to announce this year’s winning photographers for The 2012 Dance Parade Photo Contest. Our panel of judges’ decision was very close bettween the winner and the First and Second Runners Up.

The grand prize photographer will receive a Dance Parade T-shirt and a $100 B&H gift certificate. In addition, several contest photos will be selected to be featured in the online Dance Parade Gallery.

The top three photographers captured best the essence of Dance Parade through the magical movement of Dance, the New York City setting and the multi-cultural aspect of our annual parade and festival that reaches and allows participation from all age groups, ethnicities, geographical backgrounds, disciplines and more. The votes were close but the winners are :

Grand Prize : Lawrence Parker

First Runner Up : Stephen Parker

Second Runner Up : Jennie Lai

Dance Parade sincerely thanks all the talented photographers who took the time to not only capture pieces of the parade and festival but also the time to submit their work.

Here are Lawrence’s submissions!
