"Our Cape Breton" 2016 Calendar Contest

Enter your high-quality, eye-catching and story-telling photos that say “Our Cape Breton” to you.  This could be anything! A landscape, a still life, or scenes of culture, heritage, and community. This contest is open to anyone to enter, as photos are judged on merits alone, with no names attached.

The finished calendar will be sold as a fundraiser for the Beyond the Horizon Building Campaign. Photos chosen will reflect the season in which they appear. For each photo chosen (maximum two per photographer), winners will receive a photo credit and a free calendar. One photo will be chosen as the cover photo as well; the photographer of that photo will win an original drawing of the calendar logo by in-house graphic designer Leah Noble. Photos will be judged by image composition and quality.  Please see Rules and Regulations below for photograph specifications and for how to enter, or go to www.beyondthehorizon.ca 

Rules and Regulations

By entering you agree to abide by all contest rules. The contest is open to anyone, including employees of the Horizon Achievement Centre. Photographs may be of any subject, but must be related to the theme “Our Cape Breton”.

Photographs must be digital (no prints, slides or negatives please) and horizontal in format. Digital photos must be no smaller than 2000 x 1500 pixels (3 megapixels – approximately 9 MB in RGB mode). Please remove watermarks from submitted photos.

There will be 12 photos chosen. Winners will receive photo credit and 1 calendar. Photo chosen for calendar cover will receive an original artwork of calendar logo. You may enter up to 2 photos. Entries will be judged by delegates of the Horizon Achievement Centre, based on the artistic and technical quality of the photograph. Judges’ decisions will be final.

Winning photos will be used in the Our Cape Breton Calendar 2016 and to promote next year’s contest. The finished calendar will be sold as a fundraiser for the Beyond the Horizon Building Campaign. Winners agree to grant exclusive rights to the Horizon Achievement Centre until December 31, 2016.
