LAKE SUCCESS, N.Y., July 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Astoria Federal Savings has announced the twelve winners of their annual Teen Photo Contest. This year, the contest theme was "Good Times" and Astoria Federal asked contestants between the ages of 13 and 19 years old to use their cameras and their creative eyes to capture people of all ages enjoying life. Participants were encouraged to think about the many ways people have fun including family celebrations, playing sports, traveling to new places, or even just listening to music.
