Celebrating Earth Day with a Hidden Gem!
This Earth Day, the City of Sonoma and Sonoma Community Center are delighted to announce the winner of the 5th Annual Earth Day Photo Contest, themed “Hidden Gems.” The contest invited photographers of all ages to showcase the lesser-known, quietly stunning corners of Sonoma Valley—and the entries did not disappoint.
Please join us in congratulating Peri Paniagua, whose photograph “Bonjour Spring” captured along Lovall Valley Road has been selected as this year’s winning image!
All contest submissions—including Peri’s winning entry—are being installed today in City Council Chambers as part of the City’s Rotating Art Program, where they’ll be on display during public meetings and an upcoming artist reception. More details on that event will be shared soon!
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who submitted their work, voted, and helped celebrate the beauty of Sonoma Valley. Happy Earth Day!
