Capture Oakville Photography Competition returns with all new categories and a $1000 cash grand prize.
This year’s categories includes Capture Oakville, to be shot within the Town of Oakville’s borders capturing the natural beauty, landscapes and seasonal ambience, The Human Character (Portrait), Textures and Impressions (the black and white category), Street Photography, Nature and Wildlife which includes landscapes, natural events and documentation of wildlife in their world. The final category is Something Grand, the larger than life landscape, architectural subject captured in all its grandeur.
Capture Oakville is the only category that needs to be shot within town borders, all the other ones are constrained by the limits of the photographer’s imagination.
The grand prize is $1000 cash with category prizes including a pair of Vanguard tripods, Lumiquest Pocket bouncer to 11×17 Ilford Gallerie photo paper and much more.
