Huntsville artist Brenda Turnour first winner of the 2025 Yellow Pages Directory Cover Competition

Yellow Pages Limited, a leading Canadian digital media and marketing company, has announced that the winner of its nationwide art competition, “Our Cover, Your Canvas,” is Huntsville artist Brenda Turnour.

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.

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.”
