Columbia Basin Trust (CBT) wants you to vote for your favourite photo!
The Show Us Your Basin photo contest, which closed earlier this month, received nearly 1,000 images from residents across the Basin. These images have been narrowed down by a selection committee and now CBT wants residents to choose the winning photo.
“CBT sincerely thanks all residents who showed us the many great angles, views and stunning locations of our region,” said Neil Muth, CBT president and CEO.
“Many of the photos were submitted with comments about what the Basin means to them. These comments were incredibly thoughtful and a true reminder that we live in a very special place that is worth protecting, fostering and strengthening. CBT is honoured to be a part of this Basin.”
Basin residents can vote for their favourite photo until November 20 by visiting www.cbt.org/vote.
The top 10 finalists are:
Brad Smiley, Cranbrook
Douglas Noblet, Nelson
Freya Rasmussen, Revelstoke
Gail Spitler, Kaslo
George Hopkins, Revelstoke
Kathy Howard, South Slocan
Laurie Sittler, Nelson
Liliane L’Archer, Cranbrook
Rob Wyatt, Montrose
Sanne van der Ros, Golden
Five prizes will be awarded to the top ten photos in the Show Us Your Basin photo contest as follows:
One Grand prize – Basin Basket (made up of items/services from around the Basin) valued at $500;
One Runner-up prize – Basin Basket (made up of items/services from around the Basin) valued at $250;
Three Honourable mention prizes – CBT jackets valued at $50 each;
Each of the 10 finalists will receive a custom framed copy of their photo.
The winning photos will also be used on CBT’s website, in publications, advertising and more.
