June 5 Deadline: PR Public Library Photo Contest See right.
B
ecause we’re all home-bound this year, the annual Powell River Public Library photo contest is a little different. Simply photograph something in your yard or your view. That’s it. The deadline is June 5, and there are categories for both under 18s and for 18 and over. Top prize is $75. Winning submissions will be published in Powell River Living magazine in August, be
displayed at the Library, and be part of the 2021 Library fundraising calendar. Please submit just one image. It will be judged on subject matter (representing your yard or your view); photo composition (visual impact of the photo layout); detail (sharpness, focus, depth of field, photo resolution); and lighting (colour, brightness, contrast, saturation). See the PRPL’s ad on Page 24 for more.
