30 Different Chances to Win! 

I·SPARC is hosting a photo contest open to all ages and abilities.

The opportunity to win gift cards when you submit your photos to the Indigenous Sport, Physical Activity & Recreation Council (I·SPARC) is now even easier!

As part of a unique project to get our youth moving, we’re looking for images of Indigenous youth engaging in cultural activities that encourage physical activity.
 

The I·SPARC photo contest is open to photographers of all ages and abilities. There are 27 categories to participate in, and the photos can be current or previously taken.

NEW: You can submit your photos by responding back to this email. If you have consent forms please send them with your photos, if you do not have any at the moment, you can still submit your photos! If your photo is selected as a finalist, in order to be considered for a prize you will be asked to submit a consent form within a given time period. 

I·SPARC will award $25 Visa gift cards to the winners whose photos will be used for the activity card set. The grand prize winners will also receive a printed set of the activity cards. Each photo submitted will also be entered into a draw for three prizes of $100 Visa gift cards – the more photos you submit, the more entries you receive for a chance to win.
