GUELPH - The fifth annual guelPhonography contest invites people to be part of a community-based mobile phone photography exhibit.
guelPhonography encourages people to share photos of Guelph and Wellington County on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and Google+ using the hashtag #guelphonography.
Anyone can post and follow the hashtag to see the people, places, history, heritage, sports and spirit that make Guelph beautiful.
The annual mobile phone photography contest allows people to submit up to three photos for a chance to be part of the guelPhonography exhibit.
