Calling all shutterbugs to share your photos of Quinte Conservation Areas for a chance to win three grand prizes and your photo could be featured on QC greeting cards.
The intention of Quinte Conservations 70th Anniversary Photo Contest is to showcase the unique aspects of Conservation Areas and expand on the current library of photographs that QC uses to promote their many outdoor destinations and programs.
The categories include:
People: Take a photograph of your family or friends enjoying a recreation activity at
one of the Conservation Areas protected by Quinte Conservation.
Wildlife: One of the most exciting things to see at a conservation area is wildlife! Whether it’s birds, insects, fish or mammals, they all make excellent focal points for a great photograph.
Landscape: Get out and enjoy nature all year! Take photographs at Conservation Areas throughout the different seasons that showcase the natural beauty of our watershed.
How to enter: Take an original still photo that fits into one of the three categories of the contest.
How to submit photo(s): All photos must be submitted in digital format, as a jpeg file. They must be at least 1600 pixels wide for a horizontal image or 1600 pixels tall for a vertical image, and no larger than 4MB (4,000 KB).
The submitted contest photograph cannot be significantly retouched; nothing in the photographs (people, animals, scenery, objects, etc.) may be altered, removed, augmented or rearranged. If the contest photograph has been retouched as stated above, it will be immediately disqualified. Cropping of the original image is permitted, as are modest tonal or colour corrections.
All submissions must include the name, mailing address, phone number, and email address of the photographer. The photo must also be accompanied by the name of the Conservation Area where the photo was taken, and a brief description of the photo is strongly encouraged. Submissions can be emailed to photocontest@quinteconservation.ca
Once submitted, it is considered a final submission and may not be modified, edited, or replaced.
A Photo Submission must be an original photograph (in digital format) taken by the photographer.
The contest closes at 12:00pm on October 31, 2017. Entries must be received by the contest closing date.
Prizes will be announced soon!
