Got an eye for photography? Just lucky? Need $1,000 Canadian?
The Banff Centre is now accepting submissions for its 2010 photography contest. Entries must be submitted by April 30. There’s no entry fee and the competition is open to professionals and amateurs.
For inspiration, check out the winning photos from last year’s competition. The ethereal image above, titled Tamas — Frozen in Time, by Nathalie Daoust of Canada, was the 2009 Grand Prize winner.
