Every year we celebrate our hard work during the field season with a Field Photo Contest. This year, we have more to celebrate as 2025 marks our 10th annual contest! Working outside, we get to see all kinds of amazing sights; animals, artifacts, buildings, infrastructure, and of course, people. Scroll to the end of this blog post and make sure you don’t miss a thing!
But wait, there’s more! YOU can cast your vote once a day for your favourite submission in each of our four categories: Boots on the Ground, Great Finds, Above Ground Heritage, and Landscapes and Nature. Voting is completely anonymous and ends on November 24th, after which we will announce this year’s big winners in each of the groups. Want to see who is the photographer behind each of your favourites? After we announce the winners, we will add the name of the shutterbug for each of our submissions.
2025 has been an exciting field season and we can’t wait to share our experiences with you, so grab a toasty warm beverage, sit back and enjoy this gallery of images for ASI’s Annual Field Photo Contest!!
