Walk STC - YOUR Downtown Photo Exhibit

Downtown St.Catharines is an area rich with heritage, culture and characters from all walks of life.  WalkSTC and Mahtay Cafe are joining forces on a photo exhibit to showcase this unique part of our city.  WalkSTC - YOUR Downtown is an opportunity for you to share how you see downtown’s architecture, people and its hidden gems.

Walking allows you to see things that are a blur if you’re driving. You’re able to walk down alleyways, see the details of buildings and meet those folks that help to make up the colourful mosaic of our city.  The photos must be taken while walking throughout the downtown core and preferably with your Smartphone.

The exhibit will hang at Mahtay Cafe at 241 St. Paul Street from December 1 to 31, 2013.

Entries for the exhibit will be accepted from September 20, 2013 until Midnight November 8, 2013.  The first 25 photographers will be selected and are encouraged to submit multiple photos.  Each will be given a two-foot-wide wall space to hang their photos.  Photos must be printed and ready to hang at the expense of the submitting photographer.

To submit your downtown images post them on:

• Facebook pages for WalkSTC or Mahtay Café & Lounge. Include the hashtag #WalkSTC

• Twitter include @Walk STC or @MahtayCafe and the hashtag #WalkSTC

• Instagram include @Walk STC or @MahtayCafe and the hashtag #WalkSTC

There will be an exhibit opening party on December 14, 2013 when the submitted photos will be judged by an impartial jury and prizes will be given for the photos selected as those showing off downtown St. Catharines architecture, people and its hidden gems.
