Photo contest ends with a photo finish! EMC News - After an overwhelmingly enthusiastic response to the Falling for Kemptville photo contest (we received 157 entries) and a fabulous response to online voting for the People’s Choice Award (we received 402 votes), we now have our winners! But it wasn’t easy… as it took two rounds of voting on the part of our judging panel to decide on the top 15 and yet another round of voting to determine an overall winner by virtue of the fact that the top two choices received the exact same number of votes. So here then (drum roll please) are the Falling for Kemptville photo contest top three winners, as decided by judges Ryland Coyne of the Kemptville Advance EMC, Ross Grieve of Henry’s camera store in Ottawa and on behalf of Kemptville Meadows, design and image consultant Lisa Hampel. As already mentioned, although they ¿nished tied for overall, Janice Benoit of Stittsville with her exceptional photo of a Canada Goose on sunlit waters, edged out 2nd place ¿nisher Betty Stinson of South Mountain, with
her scenic shot of the Rideau. Finishing a close third, was Don Campbell of Manotick with his whimsical fall shot of two scarecrows in a ¿eld of leaves.
“As Ross Grieve, the judge for Henry’s pointed out, there’s clearly an abundance of great photographers in the area. “ GILLES BRISEBOIS
Meanwhile the People’s Choice Award goes to Krista Jenson with the colourful photo one of her chickens on the loose in her back yard. The prize for these winners, are as previously announced: Apple iPad for overall winner Janice Benoit (as provided by the L.A. Group), a $500 Henry’s Gift certi¿cate (also provided by L.A. Group) for runner-up Betty Stinson, a $150 credit for a Henry’s camera store photography course, as provided by Henry’s and a $100 Gift Certi¿cate for Lock 17 for People’s Choice winner
Krista Jenson (as provided by the restaurant). “We’d like to thank everyone in North Grenville and surrounding communities for making this contest such a resounding success,” notes Gilles Brisebois, president of L.A. Group, the builder for Kemptville Meadows that organized the Falling for Kemptville Photo Contest. “As Ross Grieve, the judge for Henry’s pointed out, there’s clearly an abundance of great photographers in the area. In addition to thanking Henry’s and Lock 17 restaurant for their support, I’d like to extend a special thanks to the Kemptville EMC for their amazing support of this contest. If it weren’t for the coverage they provided, we wouldn’t have had nearly as many as participants or photo submissions.” Anyone who hasn’t had a chance to check out the photo contest entries can still do so online by going to the Kemptville Meadows website www.kemptvillemeadows.ca or by going to the Kemptville Meadows sales of¿ce and model home, where most of the photos are on display.
