January's Photo Contest was certainly seasonally appropriate, as our winner and honourable mentions all featured wintery backdrops! When the snow settled, a gentle corgi pup named Eillie emerged as our favourite submission of the month, earning her talented photographer, Julie Cork, a post-solstice victory lap. Congratulations, Julie! You'll take home a 16 x 20" Gallery Wrapped Print of your adorable doggo. But the heaps of praise don't stop there! Simon Stevens (snowy bench) and Kyla Genge...

Happy New Year, photographers! As we kick off 2025, we’re celebrating last year's stunning contest entries and looking ahead to fresh perspectives. Clayton Reitzel’s winning Boreal Owl photo and Honourable Mentions for Joanna Klausner and Dee Webb show how birds continue to captivate. This year, we can’t wait to see how you’ll capture the beauty of winter, the vibrancy of city life, and everything in between. Keep pushing your creative limits—we’re excited to see what you’ll create next!

My name is Dave and I shoot winter sports. I’ve been to three Winter Olympics and Paralympics as well as countless world cups and world championships. My daily life is at the Canadian Sport Institute Alberta, the training centre for most Olympic and Paralympic winter athletes at some point.

As the holidays edge closer, there’s a buzz in the air already about the gifts we’ll wrap for our loved ones. Personally, it’s my favourite. I love nothing more than the art of personal gift-giving down to the wrapping paper itself.
