The Canada Day Challenge invites young Canadians from 8 to 18 years of age to celebrate Canada’s culture, explore its heritage, and to participate in a unique creative experience! This year’s theme is Celebrate Your Future.

The Canada Day Challenge is an art, photography and creative writing contest. Young Canadians are encouraged to get inspired and show their vision of Canada’s next 150 years by submitting an entry in the following categories: Draw it! (drawing or painting), Snap it! (photography) or Write it! (creative writing).

Participants could win an all-expenses paid grand prize trip for two to Ottawa to celebrate Canada Day and take part in activities for the 150th anniversary of Confederation.

The Challenge will accept entries from January 3 to March 31, 2017.
