Beautiful British Columbia Newsletter Photo Contest:
BCATML would like to increase the number of newsletter submissions from its members. We have created an easy contest for teachers to showcase their beautiful spot of BC and share it with others in our newsletter called Lingo. There are many unique wonders of unparalleled delights found throughout this great province of ours. BCATML's Executive invites you to share a small piece of it in a dedicated section of our newsletter called Beautiful British Columbia.
In 1964, the government of British Columbia adopted this famous catch-phrase as our license plate slogan. BCATML wants to do the same by asking you to capture a part of BC that you think stands out and needs to be seen by others. We ask you to upload your photo submission along with a short description by using the entry form below prior to the next newsletter’s deadline. Our Newsletter editor will then choose one entry for the next edition. If your picture is selected, it will be included in our spotlight in the next edition of Lingo and you will receive a $50 gift certificate in the mail for Chapters Indigo, Amazon, Apple store, or another appropriate vendor.
Guidelines and how to enter:
b) Your contact information (email, street address, city, and postal code);
c) Location in British Columbia where the picture was taken;
d) Acknowledgment of the Indigenous territory for the photograph (https://native-land.ca); and
e) Any additional information you would like BCATML to publish with your photo.
