CANADIAN GEOGRAPHIC PRESENTS
THE WINNERS OF ITS 32ND ANNUAL
PHOTO COMPETITION
B

Brilliant auroras on a night when the forecast called for clouds. The patient
gaze of a bighorn sheep as you round a bend in a mountain trail. A perfectly
timed lightning bolt. These are the moments photographers live for, the ones
that get them out of bed before dawn, keep them out long past sunset and
compel them to drive and hike hundreds of kilometres every year in search
of the perfect shot. And while the unexpected and serendipitous seemed to
be a unifying theme among the images favoured by our judges — Canadian
Geographic’s creative director Javier Frutos, Canadian Geographic
Photographer-in-Residence Michelle Valberg and Ottawa-based travel and
lifestyle photographer Julia Weber — the five winning photos are also a testa-
ment to the skill and determination of the photographers. We are once again
proud to present the winners of our Annual Photo Competition.
