The I Love Canadian Harness Racing Fan Club would like to thank everyone who submitted photos for our first month’s Zoom Photography Challenge contest. Now we need your help!

In case you missed it, the ‘ZOOM Photography Challenge’ asked harness racing enthusiasts to submit their photos in which they felt captured the heart of harness racing. April’s theme was ‘Instagram Free for All.’ The contest closed yesterday.

Now it’s your turn to pick the winner!

Contest Officials have selected five photos that we felt showcased the heart of harness racing within the Instagram theme.

The winner will be chosen by this poll and will receive a $50 Fan Club swag package. The six monthly winners will be eligible to win a Grand Prize, which will include a $50 gift card to the racetrack of their choice and an enlargement of their winning photo framed or plaque mounted! Click here to vote now. Voting ends at 5 p.m. (est) on Friday, April 19.

We thank all of those who submitted photos and we look forward to seeing your future submissions.
