Îles de la Madeleine, 26th of July 2019 -  Tourisme Îles de la Madeleine is pleased to announce the winner of the 2019 #fousdesiles Photo Contest, Ms. Marie-Ève Giroux from Les Îles! She is now the proud owner of the #fousdesiles letters made out of sand, courtesy of Atelier côtier!

The contest was launched on February 11 as part of the fourth edition of the #fousdesiles promotional campaign. This year, the contest was a little different as we wanted to showcase the Islands from a rather unknown perspective. More often than not, the Islands are known for summer landscapes, beaches and crystal-clear water, but winter and spring both hold great surprises! With this contest, we wanted to highlight what day-to-day living on the Islands is all about. Both Madelinots and visitors who chose to discover the Islands outside of the peak season entered the contest by posting photos on Instagram showcasing unique moments or experiences lived on the Islands with the hashtag #fousdesiles.

Between February 11 and June 23, 2019, Tourisme Îles de la Madeleine chose 73 finalists, for a total of over 100 photos. Each photo will be displayed at the Tourist Information Desk and shared on the destination's Instagram account.

Over 30,000 photos with the hashtag #fousdesiles have been posted since the beginning of the promotional campaign. Tourisme Îles de la Madeleine would like to congratulate the 73 finalists, including the winner, Ms. Marie-Ève Giroux, and would also like to thank each and everyone of you who entered the contest.
