And the winners of the 2023 SkeenaWild Film and Photo Festival are...

After two sold-out events in Terrace and multiple screenings in communities across Northwest B.C. – Kitimat, Smithers, Prince Rupert and Haida Gwaii, the festival is now online. 

Screening attendees voted on their favourite films and photos, and subsequently, voting opened up to the general public for a week. Now, voting has closed, the votes have been counted and we can now reveal that the winners of each category are as follows;
