It's time to 'snap your city' Penticton! Hobby photographers are invited to submit their best snapshots of Penticton for use on the City’s new website as well as in reports, social media, and other promotions. The City is looking for photos that celebrate life in Penticton in the following five categories: Recreation and Sports, Arts, Culture and Events, Amenities and Places, Nature and Parks and Innovation and Economy.
At the end of the submission period, the City will shortlist the photos. All photos shortlisted are candidates to be used on the site or in City publications. Residents will be invited to vote for their favorites from Feb. 15 to Mar. 1. The photographer of the photo that receives the most votes in each of the categories will receive a one-month family pass to the Community Centre (fitness centre and pool). In exchange for the use of photos the City will provide a photo credit for all feature photos used on the main page(s) of the website.

Tips
Why are we using www.shapeyourcitypenticton.ca?
This application
allows for thumbnails to be uploaded and easily viewed. It ensures all photos
are appropriate before they are posted. And it includes a voting function that makes
it possible to involve the community in selecting the winners.
Why does it reference 'Ideas'? We adapted the Ideas tool to support the photo contest. When it asks you for your idea and a description, give your photo a name and a location.
Can I email my photos? A large number of large emails are a problem for our email system. Our preference is to download the shortlisted
photos from the website.
Don't forget to 'activate' your account. Once you register, watch for an email from the system inviting you to activate your account. Your account needs to be activated in order to upload files.
Keep it nice! Photos that contain
objectionable or inappropriate content will be removed at the discretion of the
City.
