2015 Photography Contest - Congratulations Suzie Sammuel!
Thank  you to all of the photographers that submitted their work to our  contest this year. All of you captured the true spirit of Dance Parade in color, costume, culture and creativity. The voting round consisted  of a public vote on our Facebook Page as well as a final two rounds of judging by some of our Steering Committee.  It was certainly a group requiring tough decisions but we finally  narrowed them down and made our selections!

Expect to see your photos on our Instagram and in future marketing and promotions as we prepare for our exciting 10th year!
 
First Place: Suzie Sammuel
 
 
Second Place: Glenmore Marshall
 
Third Place: Brown Longtower
 
Fourth Place: Kayla White
 
Fifth Place: Kevin Eng
