Calling all amateur photographers! The Amateur Photographer of the Year contest celebrates its fifth anniversary with an amazing $9,000+ in prizes up for grabs.

Hosted by West Coast Traveller and Black Press Media, Amateur Photographer of the Year features six categories, ranging from scenic landscapes to #InstaFavs, so no matter what captures your eye, there’s likely a category to enter!

Of course, what’s a photo contest without some amazing prizes? Thanks to sponsors AirNorth, Pacific Coastal Airlines, NVD, Northern Tales, Pan Pacific Whistler, The Burrard Hotel and Cheers Okanagan Tours, shutterbugs have good reason to snap away this summer (or pore over previous photos).
