By the deadline of December 31, 2015, we received 87 photos from 13 participants under the categories of People & Sports, Nature and Birds. The selection process was divided into two stages. The first stage was by an adjudication panel to select the best 5 photos under each category. The panel was chaired by Stephen Siu, President of the Chinese Canadian Photographic Society of Toronto, with members Irene Chu and Dennis Au-Yeung, our past President and present President.
