Scott Smith of Deloraine is the winner of the 2018 Sunrise Credit Union "Our Manitoba Photo Contest".

His photo called "A Prairie Sunset", will be on the cover of the Sunrise Credit Union 2019 Calendar, and will be on display in the Art Gallery of Southwestern Manitoba Community Gallery until June 9, along with other winning entries.

Terri Roulette McCartney is the SCU Marketing Manager in Brandon.

"We received, this year, just over 375 entries. They were just beautiful," said McCartney.

She explains a panel of judges from Sunrise Credit Union, Keywest Photo, and the art gallery short lists the photos to about 30. The public then votes on the photos, and 14 winners are chosen. The requirements are for the photo to celebrate the cultural characteristics of Manitoba, the family values, and the beauty of the province.

The contest was open to all Manitobans, and each photographer was able to submit a maximum of three images.

To view the winning entries, visit the Art Gallery of Southwestern Manitoba, located at 710 Rosser Avenue.
