Calling all Shoreline Enthusiasts! We are hosting a Canada-wide contest, open to any Canadian who wants to share their shore. Submit a photo of your favourite shoreline to be entered for the chance to win one of 4 MEC e-gift cards! Our favourite photo submissions may also be shared on our social media pages, helping to promote natural shorelines across the nation.
This contest is organized by the Stewardship Centre for British Columbia and TransCoastal Adaptations: Centre for Nature-based Solutions to help spread the word about our continued development and expansion of the Green Shores Program on both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts.
Contest Requirements
We encourage anyone from Canada at least 18 years of age to participate in the contest. The photo must be your own and must be submitted digitally. Contest participants must fill out the form and submit their photo(s) using this link (click to start).
The photo must be of a Canadian shoreline, either along an oceanic coastline, lakeshore, or estuary. Though beautiful and highly valued, riverine systems are not currently covered under the Green Shores program and thus do not meet the criteria for the purposes of this contest. The exception to this is an estuary, which is the boundary between freshwater rivers and the saltwater ocean that often contains brackish water.
Prizes
There will be four e-gift cards to Mountain Equipment Company awarded. Each card is valued at $25 CAD. All participants who meet the submission guideline will be entered for the chance to win 1 of 4 cards. Winners will be selected at random from the submissions. Odds of winning depend on the number of entrants.
More information about the contest can be found on the Terms and Conditions. By taking part in the contest, participants provide their consent to having their photo(s) featured on Stewardship Centre’s and TransCoastal Adaptation’s social media and website pages.
The deadline to enter is December 12, 2022. One submission per individual. Four winners are selected and will be contacted on December 13.
