Winners of the 2027 Employee Calendar Photo Contest

For the 10th Annual Employee Calendar Photo Contest at Forward 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 2,600 votes were cast on Facebook! The top 12 photos will appear in the 2027 Forward calendar. Pick up your complimentary calendar this fall at any of our locations. (Limited supply available).
