first-prize winning photo in Pierrefonds/Roxboro
Pablo Espinosa's first-prize winning photo in Pierrefonds/Roxboro.
Over 1,500 submissions for second annual photo contest
Shutterbugs focused on city’s beauty

For the second year in a row, shutterbugs were able to showcase their talents in the City of Montreal/Transcontinental photography contest. Photographers snapped shots under the theme “Montreal at your service,” and awards for the best pictures in each borough were handed out during a ceremony last Friday.
Photo contest participants submitted pictures focusing on the different services offered by the City of Montreal. In each borough, a three-person jury made up of a local personality, a professional photographer, and a Transcontinental weekly newspaper representative, chose the two best shots, which were then posted on the Internet where the public could vote for their favourite.
With over 1,500 submissions, it was by no means an easy task, but the winners were revealed in time for last Friday’s awards ceremony. Each winner received an enlarged, laminated copy of their photograph. Over $4,000 in prizes was also given out through a draw.
The 56 winning photographs are currently on display at Montreal City Hall, and can be viewed on the contest’s official website. During the awards ceremony, Marcel Tremblay, who is responsible for citizen services at the City of Montreal, focused on the importance of “conveying the vision of a clean city.”
Serge Lemieux, Transcontinental weekly newspaper director, echoed this sentiment: “It’s natural to celebrate the beauty of the city, as our weeklies reflect community life in Montreal.”
