Year: 2018

The BCLS publishes a calendar each year, featuring 13 photographs of rocks and minerals from British Columbia and the dates of rock shows across the province. The photographs included are determined by way of contest; we’re now happy to announce the opening of the 2019 BCLS Calendar Photo Contest!

The contest is open to all BCLS members.  Enter for a chance to win one of 13 spots on our 2019 calendar. The prize for each photo chosen is a copy of the calendar and a lapidary item valued at not less than $20.  Contest closes Canada Day July 1st 2018.  See full contest rules below or on our website.  Remember, our calendar lists all the BCLS club shows.  Help make our calendar great!

Here is the cover page of the 2018 BCLS calendar… this could be your photo in 2019!

If you have any additional questions, please feel free to contact me by responding to this email.

Regards,
