As part of the Mayor’s Environment Expo, the photography contest encourages students to consider the environmental community that surrounds them and to take action to protect it.

If you are a student in grades 7 to 12, grab your camera and capture your community, classroom or neighbourhood. Then enter your best shot into one of the following categories:

• Wabi-Sabi
• Manufactured Nature
• Nature Aging
• Nature Taking Over

Enter today! The contest closes at 4:00 p.m. on April 21, 2017.

Winners will be recognized at a reception on May 25, 2017. Winning photos will be featured on The City of Calgary’s Instagram account and will be displayed during the Mayor’s Environment Expo from June 6 – 8.
