“They say a picture is worth a thousand words. What better way to showcase the natural beauty of the Kemptville and North Grenville area than with a photo contest that celebrates the area`s history, culture and natural beauty?” said Kemptville Meadows Project Manager Fred Heller, announcing the start of the contest. “We already know this is a great place to live and play; now everyone will be able to see what makes this community so special.”

In addition, a People’s Choice award ($100 Lock 17 Restaurant gift certificate) will also be determined through on-line voting.
