Okko Communities Launches “My Kimberley Photography and Video Contest”

June 24, 2011 - PRLog -- Kimberley, British Columbia (June 24th,2011) - Today Brian De Paoli, Sales Manager of Sullivan Landing announced that the new community of Sullivan Landing in Kimberley, BC, is launching a photography and video contest for all local children to submit photos and videos of their hometown to encourage a greater sense of community.

The contest encourages youth, up to the age of 18 to take photos and videos in and around the communities in Kimberley, spotlighting their favourite part of living in the city. “The City of Kimberley is such an amazing place, we really want to encourage the youth here to get excited about their hometown,” explains De Paoli. “Having them submit photos of their favourite place not only encourages them to explore their city, but also encourages other Kimberlites to see places they may have missed. We really want them to try and capture what living in Kimberley means to them in a photo or video.”

The contest is divided into two groups, 12 and under and 13 -18, all entrants must be enrolled in school in Kimberley in the 2010/2011 school year.  First place prize for both groups is an iPad2 while a second place earns an iPod Nano! All prizes will be awarded at the 2011 KidsFest in Kimberley on July 17th, 2011. For more contest information visit www.sullivanlanding.com/MyKimberley.
