The theme of the competition was Discover, Shop & Support Your Local Community.

“We were overwhelmed with the number of entries we received as well as the quality and talent of these submissions. The emotional connection that these artists feel toward their local communities and the businesses that are the backbone of Canada was evident through their pieces of art. We could not be prouder to be showcasing beautiful artwork on our 2025 cover,” said Sherilyn King, Senior Vice President of Sales, Marketing, and Customer Service at Yellow Pages. “Thank you to all those who submitted pieces and sincere congratulations to Brenda Turnour as the first winner of our 2025 Yellow Pages Directory Cover Competition.”

Brenda Turnour is a fourth-generation artist who sold her first oil painting at the age of 12 and since then has been painting, teaching, and judging art. She is a past President of the Central Ontario Art Association. Brenda owns a gallery and studio in Huntsville, Ontario.

Additionally, we would like to recognize Shannon Delaney and Sophie Paisley at Ladysmith Arts in British Columbia, www.ladysmitharts.ca, for the cardboard collage submitted by their elementary school students. This mural was created by an amazing group of students between six and eight years of age to celebrate their community of Ladysmith, BC. It captures some of the features that they think best represent their town. Pictured here, from left to right are Zoë, Parker, Olive, Gavin and Kacen. Missing from the photo are Xavier and Magnus.
