Winners of the 35th Annual Harvestfest Photography Competition

Judy Hardiman Competition 2 Comments

Recently, Image Makers Photography Club in Truro, Nova Scotia held their 35th Annual Harvestfest Photography Competition and this was the first time they went digital.  Previously, all the entries were entered in print form and mounted on foam board.  The change was made to reflect how people share photos today.  There were 98 entries in this year’s competition.  An increase from the previous year.

Private judging took place on September 28, 2015 and the presentations and judges’ comments took place on September 30, 2015 at the Truro Junior High School in Truro, Nova Scotia.  There were three judges on the panel which included one outside judge, Mike McCarthy, and two judges internal to the club, Judy Hardiman and Wayne Talbot.

Prizes were generously donated by Bev Meilleur and the following sponsors:

Atlantic Photo Supply in Dartmouth
Carsand-Mosher Photographic Ltd in Truro
Camera Repair Centre Ltd in Halifax
Henry’s Canada in Dartmouth

So, without further ado, here is a list of the winners in this year’s Harvestfest Photography Competition.  Congratulations to each of the winners.  To see the entries in this year’s competition visit the gallery at the Imagemakers website.
