Lucas Garrard learned about the Alabama Black Belt Adventures Association’s 2025 Road Trip Photo Contest from local TV stations in the Dothan area.

The 14-year-old freshman at Enterprise High School immediately decided he wanted to enter the contest and carried his camera with him to his sister’s travel softball tournament at Lagoon Park in Montgomery.

“I saw two of her teammates walking toward the field,” Garrard said. “That was a great picture, so I took it.”

Garrard wasn’t the only person impressed with the image.

The photo received the most online votes in ALBBAA’s 2025 Road Trip Photo Contest, making the young photographer the winner. He receives a $100 gift card as the first-place winner.

“I’m honored that I won,” Garrard said.

Other winners include:

Second place: Shelby Favre
