That is a photo of a beer. It was taken by Peter Bailey of Edmonton, Alberta at Sugar Beach at Kihei on Maui in Hawaii. That is the entire pool of entries to date. If the contest were over now, Peter wins it all.
It shouldn't be that way. Canadians like an effort, the struggle to beat the odds - makes sense for a people who live in winter for ten months of the year with a two month break for gnats. Enter. Please enter. But enter in the way that I forgot to mention. With photos of under 500 KB, please. I only have to resize them so send them a reasonably manageable scale. What was the other rule? Maybe to include your postal address. Yes, that is it. It was a nightmare in 2008. This was the rule that came in in response. I need your postal addresses for the whole sending of the presents / prizes. You should want that. So send your address.
Prizes? In addition to those already announced, we have our annual and most welcome Ontario only prize of a gift basket from our constant pals at Roland and Russell. In 2008, it was won by Dinghao Pan, a student from China studying in Oshawa, Ontario for this entry. Also, we have received word from another longtime supporter, Creemore Springs Brewery that they are providing, and I quote, "the same swag I did last year, hockey jersey, toque, had, bottle opener, tee shirt, what ever I can cram into a priority post envelope." That's a big envelope. In 2009, Thomas Cizauskas of Yours for Good Fermentables won this prize pack for this photo. Excellent work.
Enter. Peter in Alberta shouldn't get it all.

I will be entering. I'd be happy to help drum up entries, although experience tells us eventually you will be overwhelmed. And I will contribute prizes.
Looking at the first entry I'm wondering if I previously submitted this (obviously no snow):

I am not against sunny climes but being albino between the freckles I am a little bitter about it.

Come on man, you just announced it. Some of us are staging our photos. I intend to perch a beer and a plate of food on a dirt pile. It will take some effort and planning. Art, you know. Also, in the next two days I'm visiting four breweries, and something may come of that.

And by the way, this demand for snow is regionalist. You announce yourself as a Canadian. We get no snow here, or very little. Although I suppose I could photoshop in some snow--maybe ringing my dirt pile.
