And the Winners Are...

Congratulations to the winners of our 2009 photo contest!  We received over stunning 140 photos representing the grace, beauty and peace that typify our experiences at Queenswood.  The selection committee had a very hard time deciding on 16 photos.  The photos were judged without knowledge of who their photographers were.  The winning photos will be printed and mounted on our new feature wall by the end of April (in time for our open house!) for one year.  Because of the success of the photo contest, we're planning to hold the photo contest annually.

And the winners are:

• Colleen Cuggy (Photo 1)
• Carol Martin (submitted by Colleen Mahoney, ssa) (Photo 1)
• David Peterson (Photo 1, Photo 2)
• Dean Helm (Photo 1)
• Janie Jolley (Photo 1, Photo 2, Photo 3)
• Joannie McCorrey (Photo 1, Photo 2, Photo 3, Photo 4)
• Joanne Balchin (Photo 1)
• Karen Porteous (Photo 1)
• Lesley Preston (Photo 1)
• Purna Ma (Photo 1)

There were so many outstanding photos, that we chose several honourable mentions as well.  If in the event that a winning photo cannot be reproduced (for example, because its quality is not high enough for a 12" x 12" print), a replacement photo will be chosen from the honourable mentions.

Honourable Mentions:

• David Peterson (Photo 1, Photo 2)
• Janie Jolley (Photo 1, Photo 2)
• Linda Roberts (Photo 1, Photo 2)
• Melissa Rowlinson (Photo 1, Photo 2, Photo 3)
• Nathan Lang (Photo 1)
• Star Weiss (Photo 1)
