This January Visit Oakville hosted a Winter Photo Challenge, inviting photographers to submit their best shots of Oakville during the winter season.
We received dozens of gorgeous images and evaluated each one based on exposure, composition, colours, uniqueness of the moment captured, and how it showcased Oakville.
After careful review, we are thrilled to announce the winners of this photo contest.
