Vacouver, June 7, 2010 - The 2010 contest is now over and the London Drugs photo processing lab is working overtime to process the film and print the pics. In the meantime, we want to update you on some positive media coverage the photo contest attracted.

fantastic article by Yolande Cole in the Province on Sunday June 6 really captures the spirit of the whole project. You can also read about the contest in 24 Hours (on the cover!) and in the Globe and Mail.  24 Hours also produced a video.

We were happy to be invited to talk to CBC Radio One's B.C. Almanac just after the camera handout. You can listen to a podcast of the interview with photographer Greg Lesnick and his sister Julie Breise here (you have to scroll down and choose the June 1 edition).
