Amateur photographers were invited to enter original photographs for the contest in June and July. Winning photographs were determined by popular vote on FBCL’s website and social media.

The exhibit features original photographs that portray the culture, nature, people, and places of Fort Bend County – from hidden gems in our communities to favorite places and scenes around town. Sixty-three photographs were entered into the competition.

The exhibit is free and open to the public, and it can be viewed during regular library hours. The exhibit can also be viewed on an online gallery on FBCL’s website.
