NEIGHBOURHOODS IN MOTION
The Wellington Street West Centennial Photo Contest
Our section of Wellington Street was so named almost one hundred years ago, on June 25th, 2008. Marking this centennial, the Neighbourhoods in Motion photo contest captures the spirit of the street linking Hintonburg and Wellington Village and the people who make it special.
The contest is open to all, young and old, and the competition will capture our main street as we know it today, just ahead of major road reconstruction which is set to transform Wellington as early as Spring 2008 and move our neighbourhood corridor into a new era.
Winning submissions will be widely displayed and certificates will be awarded.
Categories
- amateur, 16 years old and under
- amateur, 17 years old and over
- professional and near professional
- Wellington at work
- Wellington at play
- Wellington people
- Wellington architecture
- Wellington historic (Got any interesting old snapshots, say from the 1970s or earlier, taken in the area that you can scan?)
Kindly limit your shooting to Wellington Street West between between Western Avenue and Bayswater Avenue including the area one block north and one block south (which would include parts of Armstrong, Spencer, Gladstone, Byron and the Parkdale Market area). We're not going to be too picky here but you get the idea: concentrate on the main street and areas immediately adjacent . Need a map?
