 “I’d like to thank all those who participated in the #VisitQAC Photo Contest,” said Chenault. We held the #ILOVEQAC Photo Contest in 2016 and were excited to bring it back with expanded categories. It’s a wonderful opportunity to give locals and visitors a chance to share their experiences, and show us QAC through their lens”
