Video and Photo Winners of The Calling 2017
The winners of The Calling 2017 Video and Photo Contest were presented at the Alberta Snowmobile and Powersports Show in Edmonton last weekend. The top five entries—as selected by The Calling panel of judges—were screened before an audience of 200+ sledders at the annual 509 film premiere. Selections in both categories were well-received with cheers, laughs and hollars by an enthusiastic crowd.
The Calling 2017 Contest
Entries for both video and photo were narrowed down to the top five selections in each category. These were then evaluated by the panel of judges in 22 categories which measure impact, creativity, subject matter, storytelling, wow! factor, marketability, style and merit/skill.
The panel of judges consisted of well-known industry names, including: Rob Alford, Justin Symes, Gavin Leigh, Jeremy Hanke, Duncan Lee, Nadine Overwater and Rob Hoff.
