Think you have a talent for taking a good picture? Well, here’s your chance to prove it!

In conjunction with the CONTACT Toronto Photography Festival, the BIA is launching its first ever Forest Hill Village BIA Photography Contest. The thematic focus for CONTACT this year is “Between Memory and History”, so we’re looking for your best photos of the Village -- whether it be your favourite Village landmarks, bustling street scenes, captured moments with friends and family, or even great vintage photos of the Village from the past.

Three grand prize winners will each receive a prize of $250 and have their photographs printed by One Hour MotoPhoto and exhibited in one of three acclaimed Forest Hill Village art galleries, Art Interiors, Leonardo Galleries and Lonsdale Gallery from May 7th-May 13th, 2008.

Runners-up will be showcased in businesses in the Village along Spadina Road. Winners will be contacted by telephone and/or e-mail, and be posted on the Forest Hill Village BIA website (www.foresthillvillagebia.com). All the chosen photographs will be officially introduced at a gala on May 6th, 2008 (location tba).

To enter the photo contest, please burn your high resolution images to a CD (vintage photos must be scanned) and mail it or drop it off at One Hour MotoPhoto (417 Spadina Road, Toronto, ON, M5P 2W3).

Please submit the CD in a business envelope labeled “Forest Hill Village BIA Photography Contest”. Include with your submission a sheet with your name, home address (must be a resident of Toronto), email address, phone number and any titles or descriptions you have for your images. The deadline for submissions is May 1st, 2008.

So what are you waiting for? Get out there and take your best shot!
