"An autistic boy who loves his mother so deeply that you can feel it through the image."
Stephanie Eller of Winston-Salem, NC -
"Cheers to a New Year! My word for 2025 is COZY. This tea set sets me in the right mood for just that!"
Shaun Stockton of Winston-Salem, NC -
"The head of the Wilburn Ridge Pony Association invited me to ride up to the Scales in his side by side to deliver a roll of hay and check on the ponies. After delivering the hay we found "Blue Eye's" herd and these pregnant mares. They are just two of the wild ponies roaming throughout the Mt Rogers National Recreation Area Federal Park and Grayson Highlands State Park in southwest Virginia."
Martin Seelig of Fleetwood, NC
About Photo of the Week
Every Friday, WFDD chooses a Photo of the Week from listener submissions to highlight in our newsletter and on social media. These photos depict the best of our local community, showcasing personal milestones and moments of joy, reveling in the curiosities and wonder of nature, and capturing shared experiences though we may be hundreds of miles apart. WFDD’s Photo of the Week is made possible by the creative and talented community members who share their art with us every week.
We host our Photo of the Year every year to celebrate all of our weekly winners and to bring our listeners together for something bigger than ourselves. Through our love of community and beauty, we depict a year’s worth of moments that we can now appreciate as one. These photos have been shared from listeners all over North Carolina and Virginia. Archives of past Photo of the Week winners from 2024, 2023, 2022, and 2021 are all available.
WFDD's Photo of the Week is sponsored by Vivid Metal Prints.
About Photo of the Year
Every year we collect all of our Photo of the Week winners and feature their work at partner locations throughout the listening area. While they are on exhibit we invite the community to come and vote for their favorite photo so we can select our Photo of the Year! This year you can visit Ambleside Gallery in Greensboro, North Carolina Museum of Art Winston-Salem (NCMA Winston-Salem), or the Blowing Rock Art and History Museum (BRAHM) throughout the month of January to cast your vote. The winner will be announced during a closing reception at NCMA Winston-Salem on 2/2/25.
Each location has voting sheets and stickers that allow you to "heart" your favorite photo(s). There are no limits to the number of times you can visit a location or vote.
Please note that at NCMA Winston-Salem the Photo of the Year exhibit is hung in the Hanes House and at BRAHM you can find the exhibit upstairs in their community gallery.
Make sure to stop by during the month of January to cast your vote and add one of our receptions to your calendar!
