Anmore Photo Album Contest

Submission Deadline Extended to October 15!

We’ve received some amazing submissions to our Photo Album Contest and would love to see more, including some fall images. Thank you to everyone who has submitted photos so far. Keep them coming! 

Are you an awesome photographer? Do you love to take photos? Enter by October 15, 2023 to show of your best Anmore photos and be entered to win prizes.

We’re creating a community photo album featuring images of Anmore to showcase at the new Community Hub, on community banners and the updated website and in other communications materials.

The community will vote for the winners by “liking” their favourite photos on the Village of Anmore Facebook page or by voting in person at Anmore Village Hall.

One winner will be selected in each of the six categories (see below) and will receive a 16×20” printed copy of their photo and an Anmore prize package – plus, they’ll see their work displayed in their community!
