Sharon Grose, whose photos capture moments in farm life, earned gold in the News photography category at the Canadian Farm Writers Conference for her photo entitled “The Girls at Miller’s Dairy.”
Canada’s top agricultural photographers, journalists, and communicators were honoured at the Canadian Farm Writers’ Federation (CFWF) Awards Banquet, held in Calgary, Alberta.
Gold, silver and bronze awards were presented in 14 categories, with a total of 44 awards given out. Awards included cheques for $300 (gold), $200 (silver) and $100 bronze.
Winners were chosen by 25 judges from across Canada and the United States.
