The winners of the Summer 2020 #MYTORONTO contest

The winners of the Summer 2020 #MYTORONTO contest are here! Celebrate with us as we recognize the Top 16 winning photos from our second cohort:

Helen’s photo, entitled Protection and Love, reminded her that an appreciation for the small things is essential in life. “It isn’t only the big things like millions of dollars, or haute couture, that are beautiful. It can also be small things, like this. We don’t need to look for beauty, beauty will present itself. You’ll recognize it if your eyes and heart are open. This photo represents that to me.”

Congratulations to our winners!
