A record number of photo entries will be on display for the 2016 Wild Crocus Photo Contest gallery Saturday at the community hall in the village of Arden.
Amateur photographers submitted 185 entries for the event, with photos taken across southern Manitoba from the Whiteshell to Russell, event organizer John Dietz said.
The contest is co-sponsored by an Arden-area heritage tourism committee, by Photo Central in Winnipeg and by businesses in the Gladstone-Neepawa area.
Large prints of nearly all the entries will be on display on Saturday during the annual Arden Crocus Festival. The festival has a variety of family-oriented activities. Admission is free for the activities and for the Crocus Photo Gallery. The public gets a chance to vote in the hall for their favourite photo for the two photo sections, adult and youth. Winners will be announced and prizes will be awarded after supper.
Youth entries increased to 48 photos from 14 young photographers, while adult entries increased to 137 photos from 41 photographers.
Locations where the wild prairie crocus was found and photographed included: Arden, Ashville, Basswood, Carberry, Gladstone, Jackson Lake, Little Mountain Park MacGregor, Minnedosa River valley, Narcisse, Neepawa, Rivers, Rosser, Russell, Springfield Road, Spruce Woods, Stony Mountain, Whitemouth River and Woodside.
