Adventure Video Contest Winners

---

We have our winners. 

I have to say, our very first video contest was a huge success, with nearly 40 people entering from not only Ontario and Canada but also many entries from the United States and reaching far to other countries of the world too, like Europe and Africa!.

Our theme for our very first video contest was very open with just one word describing it, "Adventure"  So many different forms of adventure was submitted it made judging this contest a real challenge, but our professional judges from Suede Productions (a Windsor, Ontario, based video production company that's known for producing the Canadian Dodge TV commercials and also commercials for Mercedes-Benz Financial).  They even traveled to the heart of Algonquin Park, Lake Opeongo on a remote shoot to film our very first video.

Prizes:

We were very happy to have some great sponsors provide some fantastic prizes for this video contest.  I'm sure this prize list attracted many of the people who entered and I can assure you we already have some great prizes lined up for our next video contest that will be announced early in 2012.
