Port Coquitlam residents appear to have an eye when it comes to taking scenic shots of the city.
From pastoral winter scenes to woodland bears, birds rooting for bugs, sunsets on city streets, every angle has been photographed and showcased across social media, art galleries and offices.
Now, the city wants the best photos for its annual calendar and street banner program.
Residents are encouraged to submit high-resolution images of landscapes, flowers and wildlife from all four seasons by Oct. 10, 2021, for a chance to see them featured in the 2022 community calendar, lining local streets or displayed at city facilities next year.
Images that show the photo was taken in Port Coquitlam are preferred to close-ups.
Entitled "Naturally PoCo," the city’s 2022 calendar will include the waste collection schedule, city information and space for users to write in their personal schedules.
All submitted photos are also set to be placed in the online gallery and considered for use in the calendar, street and facility banners, and other city publications.
Photo credits will be applied to all submitted photos used in the calendar, and whenever possible in other city publications.
To be considered for the calendar and banners, photos must meet the following criteria:
- Format: JPEG, PNG or TIFF
- Orientation: Horizontal for calendar and vertical for the banners
- Size for calendars
- At least 300 DPI at a size of 13” wide by 10” deep OR a file size of at least 2 MB
- Size for banners
- at least 300 DPI at a size of 28” wide by 48” deep OR a file size of at least 4 MB
- File label: Photo name, location, year taken and photographer’s name (e.g. Scenic Sunset-Pitt River-2021-Bob Smith.jpg)
