Summary
Back in 2009/2010, Parkland County hosted a very successful Resident Photography Contest. After numerous requests from the public, and seeing that our existing photo collection was becoming dated, as a joint effort between Planning and Development Services and Communications, Administration decided to hold another contest. The categories are Agriculture, Residential, Environment and Nature, Sports, Recreation, and Leisure, Community, Heritage, and Miscellaneous. All photos submitted will be used in future Parkland County publications, including the new Municipal Development Plan.
The contest runs from December 1, 2013, to November 23, 2014, and is broken down into four phases based on the seasons. The first phase - Winter - ran from December 1st to February 21. All the submissions were posted on the Parkland County Facebook page, and our followers were invited to vote on their favourites by clicking "like."
Voting closed March 31, 2014, and the top three photographs were selected:
"Barbed Wire" by Shauna Howerton
"CN Wabamun" by Reg Faulkner
"Lone Coyote" by Reg Faulkner
