Sigworth's photo of one of the Aquarium's ribboned sea dragons was named one of 12 Honorable Mentions in the contest, which recognizes exceptional photography taken at AZA-accredited zoos and aquariums. All photos in the contest were taken by staff or volunteers at an AZA facility, and feature animals, people, habitats and other zoo or aquarium scenes.
This year's winning photo was submitted by Grahm Jones of Columbus Zoo and Aquarium, and spotlights the zoo's polar bear, Anana, swimming with her cub, Amelia Gray.
The winning photo and other exceptional submissions are highlighted in the December issue of AZA's member magazine, "Connect."
