Six New Paltz high school and middle school students were awarded prizes in the third annual New Paltz Teen Photo Contest at a reception April 9 hosted by the Elting Memorial Library. Local photographers G. Steve Jordan, Matt Petricone and Lauren Thomas had the unenviable task of choosing the winners among 54 entries submitted by students in Kim Sturgis’ art classes at the middle school and Judi Esmond’s photography class at the high school.
