What a summer to remember! Our 2025 Summer Games Photo Contest had us smiling from ear to ear as we sorted through all the clever, colorful, and downright delightful entries. We were amazed at the way you brought Annalee dolls to life—cheering at the sidelines, celebrating with family, and soaking up those golden summer days. The creativity on display was nothing short of inspiring, and choosing winners was no easy feat. Still, after much deliberation, the elves selected a grand prize winner, a few shining runners-up, and a handful of honorable mentions that truly stood out.

Now, the moment you’ve all been waiting for! We’re thrilled to announce the winners, runners-up, and a few special honorable mentions of the 2025 Summer Games Photo Contest.

GRAND PRIZE

Congratulations, Alan H. of Winter Garden, FL! Your photos were pure summer joy. From mice floating down the lazy river to a hummingbird sipping from a flower and a sweet ice cream party, every scene was staged with heart and creativity. What made your entry shine even brighter was knowing your Annalee-loving daughter was behind the camera helping bring each moment to life—a 4th-generation collector carrying on the tradition! Alan, your entries captured the magic of Annalee across generations, and we’re thrilled to award you the title of 2025 Summer Games Grand Prize Winner. A $100 Annalee Gift Card is headed your way as a well-earned prize. Thank you for inspiring us all!

Congrats Alan H. of Winter Garden, FL!
