We know you’ve got more beautiful, funny, touching images of your time on the trails to share, and we are excited about seeing more of them.
This year, we’re offering just 2 categories – Whatever Happens on the Trail…, and a category just for kids photos, Kids Shutterbug Club for ages 12 and under.
We’ve asked well-known photographer Kevan Garecki of ManeFrame Imagery to make the tough judging decisions in both categories, and we’re offering a great Garmin eTrex 10 GPS receiver as a prize for the main category. The Kids category prize is an HCBC Swag Bag full of cool stuff.
This contest is about enjoying BC’s trails, so all images submitted need to have been taken in BC. Please note that HCBC supports and promotes the use of helmets while riding or driving, and your photo subjects must be wearing helmets if riding or driving. Each category will have one winner only, so send your very best, and good luck!
At Horse Council BC, we work to support and advocate for your right to ride the trails available to us in beautiful British Columbia. Thank you for helping to further our mission through your photography!
