2024 Tyler Gerth Memorial Photography Contest WINNERS!

January 16, 2025

Olmsted Parks Conservancy and Building Equal Bridges – The Tyler Gerth Foundation are proud to announce the winners of the 2024 Tyler Gerth Memorial Photography Contest!

Congratulations to Jeffrey Mattingly, Peggy Yaeger, Kelly Davenport and Buddy Sergesketter, whose remarkable photography showcases the beauty of the Olmsted Park System.

Frederick Law Olmsted designed Louisville’s park system as an equitable community resource and, much like bridges, the parkways connect one neighborhood to another. We are honored to pay tribute to Tyler Gerth and partner with Building Equal Bridges to promote the love of parks and photography in Louisville.
