A contest to help industry's bottom-line

June 4, 2008
	Tourism Saskatchewan launches its seventh annual Snap It! The Great Saskatchewan Photo Contest as part of Tourism Awareness Week, celebrated throughout the province June 1 to 7, 2008. This contest has a number of benefits for Tourism Saskatchewan. Last year, the contest brought in nearly 1,000 images from both amateur and professional photographers. Some of these images have been purchased from the owners and used in Tourism Saskatchewan's guidebooks and its annual calendar. There are six categories to enter: * Saskatchewan People - Photos that reflect the character and spirit of Saskatchewan citizens. (No studio photography) * Nature in Saskatchewan - Photos of flora and fauna in natural habitat. * Prairie Scenic - Scenic photos from prairie regions of Saskatchewan, including traditional scenes, as well as hidden treasures such as the Qu'Appelle Valley, hills and badlands, and features not typically categorized as "prairie." * Woods and Water - Scenic photos reflecting parkland, boreal forest and/or lake settings. * My Saskatchewan Vacation - Photos of people having fun during their vacation in our province. Images may capture adventure, recreation, relaxation or celebration at a favourite Saskatchewan attraction, event or destination. * Towns and Cities - Photos that reflect the character and spirit of Saskatchewan communities. Entrants come from all over North America. There is no fee to participate, and entries may be submitted electronically or via mail. www.sasktourism.com/snapit
