This year our annual Photo Show & Competition was held on Thursday, Dec 11 - which is also International Mountain Day - hence the double celebration!
The show was held at our new south Island venue: The Esquimalt Pavilion at Gorge Park. Between online and in-person we had over 50 participants.
This year we had 115 photos in total from 41 photographers – a fine showing from across the ACC-VI section. After looking at the photographs I think you’ll agree the crowd doing the voting (both in-person and online) had their work cut out for them!
And speaking of hard work - let’s take a minute to thank not only all the photographers and those who did the voting, but those who helped put the event on:
- Master of ceremonies - Gordon Kyle
- Catering & craft services - Kate Stewart, Garth Stewart, Peggy Taylor
- IT - Neil Ernst
- Voting tabulation - Roger Taylor, Peggy Taylor
- All those who helped setting up!
Thank you! Your help made this a fun evening!
Without further ado, here are the results, including links to all of the images in the show.
