Congratulations to Sarah Chorey, winner of our 20th Anniversary Photo Contest. She met our challenge to capture something she loves about the Central Coast with her silhouette of a man riding his bicycle across Stearn’s Wharf in Santa Barbara. The image impressed our panel of judges, who had a tough time choosing just one winner from the many outstanding entries.

For her prize, Chorey wins a retreat at the iconic Hotel Californian, complete with a two-night stay, dinner for two at either Goat Tree café or Blackbird restaurant, a reserve wine-tasting experience for two at The Society: State & Mason tasting room, and two 60-minute rejuvenating treatments at Majorelle, the on-site spa.
