The sun has set on the HuronCamera Club’s Last Light PhotoContest and Sale.More than $700 was raised through sales and donation throughout the two-week display of the 170 submitted photographs at the Goderich Public Library. All proceeds went directly to Community Living of Central Huron (CLCH). “This event provided a terrific opportunity to partner with Huron Camera Club, the Goderich Library, the Goderich Signal-Star, Precision Print and Carman’s Camera.” said CLCH representative Rosemary Foran. “We are very grateful for the support of business and community members. To my knowledge this event is ‘a first’ for the area and what a great time to unveil it during May - Community Living Month.” Visitors to the showing were encouraged to cast their vote for their favourite ‘last light’ themed photo. A close finish between the top five viewer’s choice picks saw 16-year-old Clinton resident Calista Powell the winner and recipient of a brand new Fuji FinePix 700 camera donated by Carman’s Foto Sorce in Goderich. The contest’s grand prize winner, Winnipeg resident Ashley Gropp, received a $250 cash prize donated by the Goderich Signal-Star. HCC member Jenna Ujiye said that the success and response to the club’s first-ever contest was overwhelming, and beyond expectations. She said that the club is considering holding a second show and sale next year, but they are contemplating a new theme. “We’re talking about doing another show. This one went over better than we ever could have expected, and I think that people like to be able to show off their favourite photos,” said Ujiye. The HCC, in partnership with CLCH called out to anyone tosubmit their best sunset, or last-light themed shots for the photo contest and sale in memory ofHCC founding member SarahMann. Over 30 photos were sold forprices ranging from $15 to $30, contributing the bulk of proceeds to CLCH. The silent auction winning photos along with any that did not sell are available for pick-up at CLCH. The HCC is a free, non-for-profit organization.
