The Newport Beach Arts Commission announced the winners of its sculpture picture contest this week.

The competition aimed to encourage public awareness of the new sculptures in Civic Center Park and winners received an Amazon gift card. The two categories were “Human Interplay with a Sculpture” and “Enhancement of a Sculpture Using Nature.”

Winners were chosen from more than 300 entries that showed one or more sculptures currently on display.

In the category of “Human Interplay With A Sculpture,” photographer Mona Szumlas won for her photo “Catching Rainbows.”

Photographer Christine Nunez was the runner-up with her photo, “Circles,” of a child hula-hooping in front of artist Patricia Vader’s sculpture “The Unbearable Lightness of Being.”

In the category of “Enhancement of a Sculpture Using Nature,” four winners were named — photographers Alan Wendell, Ruth Kurisu, Anita Rasmussen and Jonard Ingal.
