The Western Producer holds a spring and a fall photo contest each year and our fall contest, #Harvest16, has come to a close.

WP editors chose their favourite 20 images, and then randomly drew the winner.

Kim MacDonald Cameron was drawn, and she is the winner of a $1000 gift certificate from Don’s Photo.

Here is the winning photo:
