Port Coquitlam is looking for scenic photographs to be featured in the city's 2024 community calendar and other high-profile locations.

Local residents are being asked to submit high-resolution images of PoCo landscapes, flowers and wildlife by Sept. 22 to the city's website.

In addition to the calendar, the photos may also be featured at civic facilities and even wrapped on hydro utility boxes next year.

For the best possibility of having your photo selected, submit images that showcase Port Coquitlam landscapes, flowers and wildlife from all four seasons. Images that show the photo was taken in Port Coquitlam are preferred to close-ups.    

Entitled "Naturally PoCo," the city's 2024 calendar will include the waste collection schedule, city information and space for users to write in their personal schedules. 

Photo credits will be applied to all successful submitted images for 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
  • 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.
  • File label: include photo name, location, year taken and photographer’s name (e.g. Scenic Sunset-Pitt River-2021-Bob Smith.jpg)

For more information or to upload photos, you can visit the City of Port Coquitlam's website
