Cameras at the ready! Time for the annual CityWest phone book cover contest

Your next snapshot could make the final list of ten as CityWest
once again launches its Phonebook cover competition

The time is here to find that once in a lifetime photo shot that could place you among the top photographers on the North Coast, as CityWest announces the call for submissions for photographs for the annual Phone book cover selection process.

The announcement of the call for submissions  was shared through the CityWest website and Facebook page last week, noting that photos will be accepted at CityWest until August 7th.

The winning photo will be announced later next month and will be the featured item on the 2021 phone book to be distributed across the city later this year.

You can submit your pictures focused on Prince Rupert settings to marketing@cwct.ca

Over the years, the competition has provided for a large volume of entries, making for a challenging job for the CityWest selection group as they worked their way through a spectacular range of photos.

Their task one to come up with the list  of the final ten photos for consideration, with the process then handed over to the public to cast the deciding vote on.

If you're lucky, Captain Doug Davis will take a year off from photography, the local photo artist who claimed the top spot last year, he is one of a number of repeat winners of the contest over the years.

The photo project hosted by CityWest showcases the talents of the local photography community as well as some of the spectacular settings that make for the North Coast backdrop.
