Judges Criteria for Honourable Mention Awards We looked for photos that:
  • Were strikingly beautiful.
  • Weren’t too obviously altered in Photoshop.
  • Showed Coal Harbour at its best.
  • Showed something distinctively Coal Harbour, in other words, that couldn’t be seen in any other waterfront city.
  • Didn’t have recognizable people in them.

We love this photo. The dress colours are beautiful. The hair is jet black. It’s an action shot. The ladies’ feet are not touching the ground, so they’re running. And they look like they’re happy. They are facing away from the camera so we don’t need to identify them.

A very well framed photo. Lots of greenery. The railing shows the waterfront is a safe place to walk. It’s a blue sky, calm day. Coal Harbour looks like a beautiful, peaceful, safe place to live.

How could you not be drawn to this dramatic sky. A calm day with an almost perfect reflection in the water. Very beautiful, and unusual colors in the sky.

Shows the water beside a lovely, wide walkway with beautifully colored trees on either side. A quiet moment with not too many people in the shot.

A perfect day. Lots of greenery along the Sea Wall, beautiful buildings, and part of a float plane. People relaxing and enjoying the scene. Showing Coal Harbour at its best.

This shot shows Coal Harbour as one of the features of a beautiful world-class city. This is a spectacular waterfront shot that even has a little bit of forest on the left to frame it.

This photo has drama, with the statue, the colors, and Coal Harbour in the background. There were other good submissions of this statue, but the colors here give it drama.

A beautiful day, boats, park, snow covered mountains in the background, and the float plane is in exactly the right place. Good timing.
