Deadline nears for My Oakville photo contest Time is running out to enter the Oakville Place shopping centre's My Oakville photo contest, Closing date for submissions is July 25. All photos must be submitted online at www.oakvilleplace.com. The only rule with regard to subject matter is that photos entered in the My Oakville Photo Contest must be taken in Oakville. Contestants can enter a portrait or street scene, a photo from a backyard barbecue, a landscape shot or whatever it is that captures and portrays your Oakville. Contestants can enter photos shot specifically for the contest and photos from the past, even those taken during your grandparent's time. The contest is open to everyone from all ages. Entries will be judged according to three age categories, Kids (under 12), Teens (12-19) and Adults (20+). A panel of experts including a professional photographer from the Oakville Beaver will review entries in each category. Winners of each age category will receive a grand prize of a $1,000 Oakville Place gift card. In August all photos entered in the My Oakville photo contest will be displayed at Oakville Place. The community-at-large will then have the opportunity to vote on their favourite photos. The winner of the `People's Choice' voting will be awarded a $1,000 Oakville Place gift card. Second and third place winners in this category will each receive a $250 Oakville Place gift card. All winning photos will be published in a future edition of The Oakville Beaver. "In introducing our new `where you live' brand campaign over the next several months, the My Oakville Photo Contest seemed an ideal and fun way to illustrate and celebrate the many different aspects of life in Oakville," said Jenny Jovanovic, marketingdirector, Oakville Place.
