SPECIAL EVENT: Kimberley Larchfest 2026

𝐋𝐀𝐑𝐂𝐇𝐅𝐄𝐒𝐓 𝟐𝟎𝟐6
𝐖𝐇𝐄𝐍: Wednesday November 4th, 5pm-9pm (votes counted at 8pm, winners announced after that)
𝐖𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄: Grist & Mash
𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓: Larchest is a low key photography contest that is meant to inspire Kimberley folks to get outside and enjoy the larch trees as they change colour. It was originally conceived as a larger festival but we soon discovered that people enjoy taking photos in larch - with some direction; and they really enjoy drinking beer to look at those photos. If you want to get involved and submit photos, the categories are listed below. We will choose about 5 finalists from each category. Then, we will come together at Larchest, enjoy each others’ photos, vote on our favourites, and have a nice little time.
𝐀𝐋𝐒𝐎 𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓: Drop in briefly to vote, or stay all night, it doesn’t matter. Bring your kids or make it an adult night, doesn’t matter. It’s very casual, we just hang out, look at the photos, vote and mingle.
𝐏𝐇𝐎𝐓𝐎𝐆𝐑𝐀𝐏𝐇𝐘 𝐒𝐔𝐁𝐌𝐈𝐒𝐒𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐒: Submit your high resolution photos to [email protected]. You can also post your photos to this facebook page but we will require the higher resolution photo be emailed if you want it printed. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR NAME IS ON YOUR EMAIL.
𝐏𝐇𝐎𝐓𝐎𝐆𝐑𝐀𝐏𝐇𝐘 𝐑𝐔𝐋𝐄𝐒: All photos will be printed to 4x6 before we choose the finalists. If the printed quality isn’t good, your photo(s) will be eliminated. (Cell phone photos are good, but send the high resolution photo (biggest sized file). Finalists will be chosen by an unqualified panel of judges, and finalists will be chosen based on which photos are most liked, not on which photos show the most skill. Put your cat on a leash and take it into the larch and you stand a good chance at this contest.
𝐏𝐇𝐎𝐓𝐎𝐆𝐑𝐀𝐏𝐇𝐘 𝐒𝐔𝐁𝐌𝐈𝐒𝐒𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐃𝐄𝐀𝐃𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐄: Friday October 30th - MIDNIGHT.
𝐏𝐇𝐎𝐓𝐎 𝐂𝐀𝐓𝐄𝐆𝐎𝐑𝐈𝐄𝐒:
