saff soon full-ame photographers became a vital part of the news- gathering team.

In 1986 the first photographs were submitted to newspaper industry contests.

From then on the newspaper's photography department would be active in the annual com-
petitions. From 1980 to the present, a total of 55 photography awards have beer wor by the
News in contests held by the B.C. and Yukon Community Newspaper Awards (BCYCNA), the

Categories tor the contests inchide spot news, sports, features and photo story. Occasionally a
