We were blown away by the stunning images that captured the natural splendour of our province for the CPAWS Manitoba Fall Colours Photo Contest!
It was a lot of fun going through the 114 submissions by 63 people and a real struggle to pick winners from so many memorable and creative photos. But after blind rankings and much debate, we are pleased to present our three winners.
There were so many great entries that showcased the province’s beauty, and we’ll continue sharing your submissions on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.
Top 3 Photos Selected by Our Judges
We love getting to explore Manitoba through your eyes. That’s why we’ll be hosting more photo contests in 2023. Sign up for our newsletter so you don’t miss out on the chance to participate.
