Photo Contest
Calling all photographers!!! CVCA would like to showcase your photos as a visual interpretation of life in Viera. There is a very special quality of life that we all enjoy here, especially the natural beauty of our community. We would love for you to capture this quality and submit your photos to us for display on this website.
Each season, we will select a new winner from your submissions and display the winning photo on the front page of the website. Your photo could also be used in other CVCA presentations and publications, including our Facebook page. All photos must be received by the posted deadline for consideration. The winning photo will be featured on the website the following month.
Email your submissions using the "Contact Us" form at the bottom of this or any CVCA web page. In order to enter the contest, you must include your name, when/where the photo was taken and, if there are other recognizable people in the photo, as statement that you have their permission to submit the photo. All photos must comply with the contest rules in order to win.
Good luck!!
