NASHVILLE — A bird’s-eye view of children performing the “Boomerang Express” Vacation Bible School (VBS) musical won Salem Baptist Church, Sparta, Va., the first-place award in the third-annual Facts & Trends Online VBS photo contest.
The winning image garnered 38 percent of the nearly 1,200 votes cast in this year’s contest, according to LifeWay Christian Resources, which produced the VBS materials and sponsors the contest.
Photos from Virginia, Missouri, Florida, Iowa, Kansas, Georgia and Indonesia were selected as contest finalists. Images from Pioneer Baptist Church, Clewiston, Fla., and Liberty Baptist Church, Everton, Mo., came in a close second and third respectively.
For its winning entry, Salem Baptist will receive a free 2010 VBS Super Sampler to plan next year’s VBS.
For the first time, contest submissions were displayed in albums on the LifeWay News page on Facebook. Visitors to Facts & Trends Online voted for their favorite image from a group of 10 finalists chosen by LifeWay staff.
The winning image, along with the other finalists, will be featured on Facts & Trends Online, www.lifeway.com/factsandtrends.
