Closed: Contest Alert: We want to see your summer in photos

This contest is now closed, you can see the winning photo by clicking here.

As August comes to a close, we let out a big sigh and get ready to kiss summer 2017 goodbye.

But hold on - don't let go of your days spent wine tasting or getting some tanning in at the beach just yet. We want you to relive those days once more before you trade your swimsuit in for mittens and scarves.

One thing KelownaNow loves just as much as sharing stories about our community is seeing how the people within it live the Okanagan life.

So, we want to see how you spent your summer in the Okanagan through your photos and videos. There will be a cool prize for one lucky person that we randomly select.

To enter, you can add photos to the Facebook post, Tag #KelownaNow and #KelownaNowSummer on Instagram, or email them to News@KelownaNow.com

We have included a few shots below to show you what we are looking for:
