Canadian Flag Photo Contest

Comments 6 by Rebecca Bollwitt

The National Flag of Canada Day is coming up February 15th and while it’s an occasion that could slip past many, there’s a very good reason to pay attention this year. Canada Place, who usually celebrates “Flag Day” with a ceremony along and themed birthday cake, is hosting the Canadian Flag Photo Contest.

The the top three photos will be profiled and the winner will be announced February 15th, 2011.

The Prize
The winner will be a VIP guest at Canada Place’s Canada Day celebrations July 1st, 2011. This will include a best seats in the house for the evening fireworks show, gourmet hors d’Å“uvres & cocktails. The winner will also get a stay for two at the luxurious Pan Pacific Hotel right upstairs from the party. To top it off, you’ll be able to see your winning photo on the giant outdoor screen at Canada Place throughout all of Canada Day (where over 100,000 people will walk by).

With so much red and white waving around last year during the Olympics, and with so many patriots at home and overseas, this is your chance to win a great prize and show some national pride.

    Reading the rules, it’s great to see that the contest holder does NOT ask for ownership of the photo, only the perpetual right to display it without payment. A progressive change, good to see. It ensures that shooters like me will submit !
