CATEGORY WINNER
Smiles, laughter, tears, moments of quiet reflection … life’s most memorable moments – and those that matter most – are reflected in these powerful images from across British columbia, Alberta and the Yukon. one of seven categories highlighted in this year’s Amateur Photographer of the Year contest, hosted by Black Press Media and London Drugs, these ‘People’ photographs reflect both the unique diversity of our region and the remarkable talent of the amateur photographers capturing its people, places, animals and events. that we live in a remarkable part of the world is evident in the many thousands of powerful images submitted across all categories – images that tell the story of this place we call home … or our home away from home. From those submissions, a panel of judges undertook the challenging task of selecting the very best, which we’re excited to share with you here. Enjoy!
Congratulations to Debbie Mackay! Debbie is the People Category Winner for her ‘A boy and his dog’ photograph.
