This award is presented annually to the photographer whose image best represents Muskoka’s natural or built heritage in a way that demonstrates the beauty of the area. This year’s theme was “Any Aspect of Trees”.

A few words from our 2020 winner, Janet Butler:

“I am an amateur photographer who simply loves the great outdoors! I take my camera everywhere – kayaking, hiking, cycling, snowshoeing, skiing, and on walks with my dog. We have had a cottage in Muskoka since 2003 and I have loved capturing all the beauty this area has to offer. My favourite time to shoot is early in the morning capturing the gorgeous reflections on the lake. This photo was taken on a warm, early July morning while kayaking around the Pinafore Island group on Lake Rosseau. I loved the reflection of the green trees on the beautiful blue water and the bright blue sky in the background.”
