Destination Battlefords has announced the winners of the 2015 Best of the Battlefords Photo Contest.
“The beauty and diversity of the Battlefords was artfully captured through the lenses of many talented photographers in this year’s contest,” said Destination Battlefords Executive Director Ryan Bater.
“There were so many deserving photos submitted and we were pleased to see a broad range of submissions representing all four seasons and a variety of activities in our community. The judging process was very difficult.”
There are five winning photographs, including four category winners and a best overall winner:
Best Overall: Paddling Home by Amy Williams
Sports and Recreation: Winter Gaze by Amy Williams

Each category winner and the best overall winner receive a $200 prize package from Destination Battlefords, and the best overall winner also receives a $150 gift certificate from contest sponsor Viewpoint Photographic Design.
The winning photographs will be displayed at the Battlefords River Valley Visitor Centre and will remain there until the conclusion of next year’s contest. In addition, winning entries are often featured prominently on materials used to promote the Battlefords, including the Battlefords.ca website, Official Battlefords Visitor Guide, the new Battlefords App and poster stands located throughout the Battlefords.
