Winners of the 2023 Employee Calendar Photo Contest

June 16, 2022

For the 6th Annual Employee Calendar Photo Contest we challenged our employees to capture the beauty, history, people, and character of our communities.

Submissions were voted on internally by Forward employees as well as a "fan vote" through Facebook to determine the winners. Over 3,000 votes were cast on Facebook! The top 12 photos will appear in the 2023 calendar. Pick up your complimentary calendar this fall at any of our locations.

See all submissions from the 2023 Calendar Photo Contest.
