The Fraser River Discovery Centre has launched the search for photographs for its annual photograph competition, *click* photos of the fraser.
The competition is open to both amateur and professional photographers of all ages.
The centre puts together a jury that selects 12 images that will be exhibited in the galleries for one year. The jury will also award three prizes in three categories: The River Wild, The River at Work and The River's People. The categories reflect the three pillars of sustainability of the Fraser - environment, economic activity and socioculture.
Each year photographers are invited to submit their work on a new theme. This year's the theme is the colour red.
"Red is not often a colour associated with the Fraser but this year we wanted stretch people's expectations of the river," explains exhibit co-ordinator Kathleen Bertrand. "We are always surprised by how photographers decide to interpret the theme selected. We are really looking forward to seeing what people come up with."
Interested photographers can visit www.fraserriverdiscovery. org for details on how to enter. Photos will be accepted until Aug. 15 and the exhibit will open Sept. 23 during RiverFest, the centre's annual festival in celebration of the river.
