The photo contest was launched on June 12 as part of the second year of the #fousdesiles promotional campaign. During this contest, all participants had to post a photo on Instagram showcasing a moment or an experienced which occurred in the Îles de la Madeleine with the hashtag #fousdesiles.

Between June 12 and September 30, 2017, Tourisme Îles de la Madeleine chose two finalists per week, for a total of 32 photos. All of those photos are hung up on a dedicated wall in the Tourist Information Desk and were posted on the Instagram account of the destination. The nomination of the 32 finalists and the two winners was made by a selection committee.

Tourisme Îles de la Madeleine is pleased to unveil both winners of the #fousdesiles photo contest:

- the winner of the 1st prize (a Canon PowerShot SX620) is Ms. Claudia Lavallée, from Montréal;

- the winner of the 2nd prize (a GoPro camera) is Mr. Martin Legault, also from Montréal.

More than 13,700 photos were posted on Instagram with the hashtag #fousdesiles since the beginning of the promotional campaign. Tourisme Îles de la Madeleine congratulates the 32 finalists, including the two winners, and would like to thank everyone who participated in the contest.
