The MEM - Centre des mémoires montréalaises (formerly the Centre d’histoire de Montréal) is once again calling upon professional and amateur photographers to take part in its popular photo contest. The theme of this 43rd edition? “Flora and Fauna.”
This year, the contest focuses on photographing the diversity of Montreal's flora and fauna. Capture images of the plants and animals (domestic or wild) that bring the city to life. From pets in parks to foxes in forest, and from foliage to flowerbeds, let nature be your inspiration! Submit your masterpiece to the MEM before September 15, 2022, for a chance to win one of the four fabulous prizes up for grabs.
From October 26 to November 15, 2022, some of the best photos submitted, including the winners, will be exhibited at Complexe Desjardins as part of a partnership with the MEM.
