PHOTO CONTEST

Photo contest to showcase Ponoka and the people who live there

Sep 26, 2019 | 7:05 AM

PONOKA- With the fall season officially underway and brilliant fall colours all around, the Town of Ponoka is launching a photo contest to capture some of the natural beauty of the season.

“We are inviting Ponoka citizens to submit photos that showcase the community and the people who live here,” says Town of Ponoka Communications Manager Sandra Smith. “We’re looking for photos that capture images of our citizens enjoying the many features and amenities that Ponoka has to offer, such as walking, cycling, jogging or rollerblading on our beautiful river valley trail system, or playing in our parks and playgrounds which are all vibrant and radiating with fall colours.”

The photos just don’t have to include fall leaves.

They can feature citizens enjoying Ponoka’s outdoor and indoor facilities or can even simply be photos of a family or children walking to school, or playing with their dog at a local park.

The contest will remain open until 12 p.m. on December 2.

The winning photos will be awarded gift bags filled with Town swag and Town of Ponoka gift certificates.

The gift certificates will be in the amount of $100 for first place, $75 for second place and $25 for third place.

All photos submitted in the contest must be of high resolution – at least 500 KB (kilobytes) in file size or larger.

The photos can be submitted electronically through email or on a memory stick that is dropped off at the Town Office (200, 5604-50 St.).

Contest entry forms and waivers are posted on the Town website.

Paper copies are also available at the Town Office for pick up.

Full contest details are posted on the Town website at www.ponoka.ca.
