I’m deeply grateful to be among these remarkable artists, and humbled to stand in a circle where passion, purpose, and pride unite, to represent this incredible nation of ours."

Another Gold Medal for Michelle Valberg Photography! “I am excited and honoured to represent Canada at the World Photographic Cup. Standing together as a team with extraordinarily talented photographers, each of us bringing our own vision and voice, is both humbling and powerful. It is about shared effort, shared pride, and carrying our country into the global conversation of photography.”

I am honoured to win the gold medal. To be in Iceland to receive it with Team Canada was even more special because my grandparents were born here.
