The Sunshine Coast Conservation Association (SCCA) is holding a competition for the featured artist for its upcoming 2013 fundraising calendar.
If you have a portfolio of environmental images featuring the Sunshine Coast and would like to see your work aligned with a leader in the protection of biodiversity, then the SCCA would like you to apply.
Submissions must reflect the SCCA's mandate to protect the natural biodiversity of the Sunshine Coast region.
The SCCA looks forward to sharing the winning photographer's personal vision of biodiversity with the public in its 2013 calendar and during a two-week showing at the Sunshine Coast Arts Centre in Sechelt.
The SCCA's 2012 calendar was the first of what the SCCA hopes will become an annual fundraising project. The 2012 calendar, Beauty and the Biodiversity, featured the work of accomplished photographer and board member Tella Sametz. The deadline for submissions for the 2013 calendar is April 11.
For more information and to download the application form, please visit the Sunshine Coast Conservation website at www.thescca.ca.
The winner will be announced at the annual Friends of the Sunshine Coast Conservation Association (FOSCCA) event, Tuesday, May 15, at the Sunshine Coast Arts Centre from 5 to 7:30 p.m. The Arts Centre will hold an official opening for the event the following evening, Wednesday, May 16, doors open at 7 p.m. The two-week exhibit will also feature this year's winner of the photographic competition alongside selected works of Sametz.
