Every year, Encore Tours runs the #MoreEncore Photo Contest, a photo/video contest for participants of our performance trips. We look for entries that best encapsulate the essence of Encore Tours: music, travel, and the people on the trip themselves. This year, we were incredibly impressed at the level of photographic talent we saw from our contestants! Selecting winners was a very difficult task, as we loved every single photo and video that was shared with us. Ultimately, we felt that these entries best captured what Encore Tours is all about. Congratulations to the winners and a huge thank you to everyone who entered! Overall First PlaceBy Olivia C. Overall Second PlaceBy Michelle Y. [Instagram] Overall Third PlaceBy Sydney C.
