Youth Engagement photography contest announced

'The goal of the Photography Contest is to encourage local youth to demonstrate to the MHC what components of North Bay’s culture and heritage are significant and meaningful to them'

North Bay Municipal Heritage Committee has opened the 2021 Youth Engagement Photography Contest for youth 18 and under

The goal of the contest is to encourage local youth to demonstrate what parts of North Bay’s culture and heritage are significant and meaningful to them.

Entrants will also be challenged to explain the significance of their photo to themselves and the community by way of a short paragraph.

SSee: Some great pictures by young photographers. Here are the top three

The photograph itself may be contemporary, or taken in the recent past, but must have been taken by the entrant.

The following prizes are to be awarded to winners:

  • 1st prize - $100 DIA gift card
  • 2nd prize - $50 DIA gift card
  • 3rd prize - $25 DIA gift card

There are no fixed categories for the competition. However, entrants will be asked to consider how the photograph relates to one of three broadly defined areas: Built, Natural, or Human Heritage of North Bay. Participants may choose to focus on a range of heritage features within these broadly defined categories.

All entries must be submitted by 4 p.m. on Oct. 31.

  • Participants are required to submit the photograph, together with a completed Photographic Release Form and potentially a Model Release Form or Art Release Form (depending on the nature of the submission).
  • Entries can be e-mailed to [email protected] 

Complete contest rules, release forms and submission details are available here.
