New Category: Heritage Properties and Landscapes 

This year, we are thrilled to announce the creation of a new category, Heritage Properties and Landscapes, thanks to a generous donation by Annette Snowdon and Douglas Bean. Under this category, photographers were invited to submit photographs of structures or natural places that tell the rich history and culture of the Georgian Triangle (Bruce, Grey, and Simcoe counties). 

We are honored to have a distinguished panel of jurors for this year’s show, local professional photographer Tjalling Halbertsma and certified judge for the Ontario Council of Camera Clubs, Gail Shotlander. Their expertise has helped curate this exceptional collection of work, highlighting a range of themes and artistic styles.
