Professional Photographers of Canada-BC Region welcomes ALL photographers (non-members and general public) to submit entries of your work for the curated gallery exhibition sponsored by SONY during the PHOTOGraphie festival, September 25-28, 2015.

The PHOTOGraphie 2014 gallery exhibit had a wide variety of artwork including Fine Art Nudes, Portraits, Animals and Architecture. So let your creativity soar, as this is an open themed exhibit! We encourage all photographic artists to take advantage of this opportunity to showcase their work. We handled several gallery sales last year for artists and many exhibitors made promising connections!
