Port Coquitlam teens can celebrate Teen Tech Week 2012 in March by participating in Fraser Valley Regional Library's (FVRL) Picture This photo contest.
In the contest, which runs through March 31, teens can show off their photography skills by snapping shots and entering them to win prizes, including an Apple iPad and $100 Best Buy gift cards.
The contest is open to teens ages 13 to 19 years who have FVRL cards and live or work in a community FVRL serves (Terry Fox Library in Port Coquitlam is part of FVRL).
"This fun contest allows teens to engage with the library through technology and through our Facebook page," Jo-Ann Sleiman, FVRL's information services librarian and contest co-ordinator, said in a press release. "It's a great way for teens who are current members of FVRL to learn more about all the cool free resources and programs that we offer them.
"This contest is also a great incentive for those teens who haven't yet become FVRL members to come in and get their free library card."
PoCo teens can submit up to five of their best photos. Winners will be chosen by a panel of FVRL staff and guest judges on April 6. Winning photos will be published on FVRL's Facebook page and there will be announcements on Twitter and at www.fvrl.ca.
