It looks like Hunter-Killer will be the first to qualify, the coin was moved in 5 days (still waiting on the photo).  If you want to enter, the contest coin is now at Bridge over Troubled Waters, GC1TNFG, near Kenora.

Photo will be sent when we get home Chris. The coin is at Rushing River Provincial Park. Had to keep it in NWO.

The contest coin is in jleecollins hands.  He is bringing it to Neys Geocaching Frenzie Event, GC1M43Z, so that others have a chance to qualify.  I won't be able to atend but expect plenty of photos.

Anyone visiting Toronto might have a chance at finding this coin at Kensington Vista GC1G902.  I found this one this past summer, its not too difficult (as long as your not afraid of heights).

It appears as if the Photo contest geocoin has disappeared into the Black Hole of Toronto.  I am still awaiting one other logged visit (to Kensington Vista) to respond.  I may release a replacement if I don't hear back soon.

Hey, Chris, if you are going to release another coin, we are going down to Windsor and Kingston for the Thanksgiving weekend, and I'd be glad to drop it off in one of those cities.  BTW, I see that your handicapped coin has done some travelling since I dropped it off in England!

Bob, will you be attending this weekend?  I think I will put a coin out and if the old one turns up; then there will be two contest coins (and hopefully more photos to judge).

Sorry, Chris, but I will be in Toronto for the weekend on a training session for the Search and Rescue, back at dinner time on Sunday.  However, if you want, we could get together somewhere to pass off the coin.

Just a little update on the NWOG Photo Contest Geocoin.  The original went missing in Toronto last September and a replacement coin was sent out in November.  It didn't see much travel over the winter but is back to traveling and is currently at the Winnipeg Mint (GC1RZFG Cold Hard Cache).

We have 7 photos submitted and hopefully we will see many more photos before the contest ends.
