Join us in celebration of the beauty that is our city, in the ideal location, at the best time of year. We are delighted to mark the start of the summer season with this fantastic art experience. See the sun set over the city on our panoramic balcony while supporting a superb community based, charitable arts organization. It is with great pleasure that we contribute to the ongoing success and growth of Art Starts. Toronto is ART will be launched from the stunning 38th floor Sky Lounge at 10 Yonge Street, on June 24th, from 7-10 pm.
Toronto is ART is an evening of exploration and discovery, stimulated by an enticing fusion of art, wine and food. By supplementing works provided by artist-affiliates of Art Starts, we have integrated Toronto inspired artwork with the distinctive flavours of local wine and food to create a truly unique and interactive experience.
We have partnered with local charity Art Starts, to raise awareness about the importance of community art programs and their role in building healthy neighbourhoods in Toronto. “At Art Starts we understand that the arts are a medium for engaging residents, creating a shared sense of identity, recognizing challenges and collectively working to overcome them.”
The organization uses a diverse range of artistic media, and encourages participation from all ages, artists and ethnic backgrounds. All proceeds from Toronto is ART are in support of Art Starts.

Win Prizes in Lenzr Toronto Photo Contest
July 22, 2009 by deblewis
Filed under Uncategorized
City Events Proudly Supports Lenzr
a new photo contest website allied with Toronto City Events.
This urban photo challenge website awards real prizes to real people who upload good pictures. User submitted media is judged by visitors to the site, and the membership.
Lenzr is a win win win website. The online contest scenario lets any local business sponsor contests and award prizes to gain market advantage in a specific city. Photographers gain exposure and links and the chance at winning cool prizes. And the public gets free online entertainment, coupons and access to archives full of great local photos. Someday soon the site will allow members to make calendars and postcards. There is already a Lenzr photo contest widget that decorates the sidebars of some popular Toronto blogs.
SEPTEMBER CONTESTS
Ontario Tourist Attractions photo contest on Lenzr is sponsored by Kanetix.ca insurance & mortgage rate quotes, and is a search for pictures that celebrate of our province’s most interesting destinations. This web challenge asks users to upload scenic shots of small town main streets, beaches, museums and monuments.
How about shots of the CN Tower? Or the Hudson’s Bay Trading Post in Moose Factory? Submit shots of the steam train in Totenham? Added together with the location information, the 140 character caption beside each photo should somehow capture the essence of people enjoying the great outdoors in the Province of Ontario.
Ontario Tourist Attractions photo contest commenced Sept 2nd 2009, and will end at 12:01 am on the morning of November 1st 2009.
The Prize is what everyone most wants, and almost as liquid. There’s a $200 value first prize, followed by a $100 second prize unit.
SUMMER CONTESTS:
The website provides compelling entertainment that contest sponsors recognize as good interactive storytelling. Three events launched in July, and will end midnight August 31st 2009.
Upload pictures of the Toronto skyline from interesting vantage points, and you could
win a Pentax Optio P90 compact camera courtesy of Lenzr, a Toronto based photo contest website, that will someday be ‘local’ in every city across Canada.
Lenzr.com hopes that someday people will come to their archival image library and search for cool local photos from local photographers. The site also intends to build a hall of fame component that showcases the most active photographers and rewards the folks that consistently upload the best and most popular images.
This basic Lenzr.com photo contest asks the people of Toronto and anyone living nearby to take pictures of the skyline from interesting and unusual vantage points. Let’s see the mega city from all directions.
Pentax Optio P70 compact digital camera is prize for Best Toronto Skyline shot.
12-megapixel camera has a wide-angle 4x optical zoom lens which is the equivalent of a 27.5-110mm zoom lens. It has a 2.7-inch LCD on the back and something called Advanced Face Detection, with Smile Capture built into the software. It even has Blink Detection. The camera features the latest Pixel Track Shake Reduction “to assure sharp images with low noise even in poor lighting.” And it shoots video too. The Optio P70 can also capture 720p HD video at 15 frame-per-second. All three Contests end August 31st 2009. And the prizes are awarded at everyone’s convienence in September. The event periods in Lenzr are two months long, so there will be three more contests and three more prizes on September 1st.
This challenge invites local photographers to post pictures of the megacity experiencing summer in some fashion. The contest is so wide open in hopes that it will engender some ‘phone camera’ photos. Perhaps pictures from Caribanna will be popular soon? (But will there be shots of garbage in the streets?) How about shots from the volleyball games on Cherry Beach? or Ashbridges Bay or any of the activities at Sunnyside Pavilion?
What does this warm and sunny season mean to you?
The event seeks to index images that warm viewer’s hearts in the cold drab November thru March months, and make them reflect back on their own memories of July and August in this exciting city.
Submit pictures of Toronto’s emergency response units in action and you could win a luxury watch. Capture the precious minutes that EMs technicians and Toronto Fire and Police need to respond to a crises . Record the details of the emergency and if your image becomes the most popular picture in the match, you’ll win an Esquire Verve 2020 mens watch that can be switched for an Esquire ladies watch btw
The Emergency in Toronto photo contest is the hardest challenge on the site this summer. It requires being ready and in the right place at the right time , and timing is everything!
The theme was selected by a motivational speaker that is an expert in time management, and this sponsor’s vocational seminars are worth spending time listening to and absorbing. Time is definitely precious to Toronto’s first response workers, and the organizers hope to harvest images that suggest speed and action. But please dont risk your life or anyone elses chasing firetrucks in Kensington Market this summer, but if you happen to catch a three alarm fire on your way home from work…
