To maximize the wealth of young, local talent in our community, the City of North Bay's Municipal Heritage Committee has extended the 2021 Youth Engagement Photography Contest for youth 18 and under to December 11.
The goal of the contest is to encourage our blossoming photographers to demonstrate the parts of North Bay’s culture and heritage that are meaningful to them.
There are no fixed categories for the competition, rather participants will be asked to consider how their photographs relate to one of three broadly defined areas of North Bay's heritage:
- Built
- Natural
- Human
The photograph itself may be contemporary, or taken in the recent past, but must have been taken by the entrant. Submissions may focus on a range of heritage features within these broadly defined categories. Entrants will be challenged to explain the significance of their photo to both themselves and the community by way of a short paragraph.
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

All entries must be submitted by 4 p.m. on Dec.11.
- 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.
