Cariboo Chilcotin Partners for Literacy (CCPL) is holding its annual photo literacy contest.
This contest is easy to enter and fun. Grab your camera and start snapping pictures of your family, friends and co-workers using their literacy skills.
Literacy skills are the skills you use when you follow a recipe, read a book, read and follow instructions, write a note, buy groceries. Almost everything we do everyday involves using our literacy skills whether it’s complicated task or a simple task.
So, take a picture of your friend using computer, baking a cake, reading the Free Press newspaper, writing a list, and counting change you decide. Your pictures will show what literacy means to you, be creative.
The contest is underway and ends on Oct. 31.
There are prizes for the three best photos. One is for the best adult (over 18 years), one for a youth (under 18 years), and a random third prize.
All photos will be published on the CCPL website (http://www.caribooliteracy.com). All photos will be property of CCPL and may be used in promotional material.
