EXPOSE YOURSELF

We’ve run Expose Yourself Comps for three years and they are now closed (and replaced with the new!, improved! SoapBox Comp for the 2013/14 season). For posterity, we want to include—and highlight—the most-excellent winning submissions for our visitors like you. The page is a little loooooooong so prepare to exercise your scrolling finger.

(To jump to 2011/2012’s EXPOSE YOURSELF COMP winners, and pass on the scroll, just click here.)

Just because we really can’t do it enough, we’d like to thank our partners for providing a whack of amazing prizes. Namely: Mount Carlyle Lodge (X2), G3, Westcomb, the ACC, Retallack, Roam, Whitewater Ski Resort, and Valhalla Pure. Merci mille fois.
