Lunenburg Hosts UNESCO Photo Challenge


New and veteran photographer's can get ready to shoot! Canadian Geographic and Parks Canada have teamed up to create the "World Views" contest. They're encouraging anyone with a camera to capture a photo of any Canadian UNESCO World Heritage site. And with over $5,000 in prizes, Old Town Lunenburg looks as pretty as a picture. John Pinkerton from Parks Canada says the contest is a great way to show off the town.



Pinkerton says the contest is part of the 40th anniversary of the World Heritage Convention.  Photo's can be submitted online until August 24th.
