2013 FOKC Photo Contest Winners

If you’re new to our membership, you probably aren’t aware that we run an annual photo contest where the prize is fame and glory — or at least, being a masthead photo in our monthly newsletter. Under certain circumstances, winners can go on to be used as the official Alberta Parks annual Kananaskis Country poster. Unfortunately, that was not to be the case this year, as though our photos were glorious, they were not of sufficient resolution to turn into a 20″ x 24″ poster (anyone out there shooting at LEAST 62 megapixel images?).

By popular demand, below are the Top 12 Images from this year’s contest, plus 2 Honourable Mentions. Note: All of these photos have been reduced in size from the originals.
