The competition featured entries from BC photographers in twenty different classes, including fine art, portrait, product illustration and architecture.

“I’d really like to thank my fabulous clients Nita Lake Lodge, Corry Staff and Roadhouse Homes for trusting in my creative vision for their businesses. They provided me with unique opportunities to stretch and expand my visual skills so I could create these award winning photographs.”
Rima Dickson, PPOC-BC Salon Chair, said: “We were thrilled to see so many inspiring entries in the competition this year. The salon images clearly demonstrate the exceptional skill and quality that professionals bring to the medium of photography.”
