PHOTOGraphie Festival is excited to welcome Technicare Imaging Ltd. as a Strategic Sponsor! Technicare will be printing the 18 youth finalists’ images to proudly display during the PHOTOGraphie Gallery Exhibition. You will be able to see these beautiful photographic art pieces hanging in this year’s gallery Nov 4 to 6 at the Anvil Centre in New Westminster.
In addition to being able to take their prints home afterwards, each youth finalist will receive a gift certificate from Technicare for their consumer company PixPortal. What a great way to give a boost to the next generation of photographers!

Those are some great prizes!
