And the Winners are...

Aren’t we ready to jump to 2021?

After the year we’ve had, the job of looking at beautiful photographs and choosing the best ones to illustrate each month of a fresh new year was exhilarating. Going through hundreds and hundreds of jaw-dropping images of Newfoundland and Labrador reminded us again why this is the best place to be quarantined. Thank you to everyone who entered the contest, and now it’s time to let you know who won.

Each of the 13 winners will receive 10 copies of the calendar and a one-year subscription to Downhome magazine. In addition, a random draw from the 13 winners netted one lucky person the grand prize: a free trip for four adults with our contest sponsor, O’Brien’s Whale and Bird Tours. Congratulations to the winning entries, which you can preview on the following pages, and to the winner of the O’Brien’s boat tour, Eldred Allen!
