Clear your memory cards photographers, a Langley fine art gallery is hosting a photo contest and the winner will have their work on display at the shop all July.

Organized by The Poppybank Gallery, a First Street gallery specializing in photographic art, the contest theme is “Earth, Wind, or Fire.”

“We’ve had lots of enthusiastic photographers enter our gallery looking to ‘talk shop,’” said Manager Leslie Evans, in a news release. “We thought this could be a fun way to reach out to both the local and greater community and let them show us their talent.”

Evans and her co-owner/husband, photographer Christopher Evans, will narrow the submissions to a set of semi-finalists with the grand-prize winner to be chosen by public vote on Facebook. The winning photo will be professionally printed and framed, then displayed at The Poppybank Gallery during the month of July.

Photographers should submit their photos via the gallery’s Facebook page, where the Photo Contest link can be found. A direct link to the entry form is http://woobox.com/bduriy.

Submission deadline is June 15, and contest entrants must be 13 years of age or older.

Business hours for The Poppybank Gallery are 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
