The Fort Smith Historical Society is pleased to announce the winners of the Save Outdoor Sculpture SOS! Photography Contest, which ended January 31, 2006. This contest, co-sponsored by Bedford Camera and Video, Inc., was designed to promote Fort Smith's outdoor sculpture; display the photographs in various locations; and to recognize the personal efforts of the photographers.

The Smithsonian American Art Museum established the Inventory of American Sculpture, which lists works from Colonial through contemporary times.  There are 17 sculptures in Fort Smith which are listed on the Smithsonian American Art Museum website.  Nine other sculptures in Fort Smith are listed by the Arkansas Historic Preservation Program.

Information below for each image lists the award, photographer's name and city of residence, sculpture title and its location. Click on the image itself to see a larger version of it and read more information about it.

Out of 148 images, judges selected winners. Many entrants who didn't win still produced work that we think is worth seeing so we've given them a page of their own. Thanks to everyone who entered the contest.
