2016 Canoeing Photo Contest
As the 2016 Canoeing season starts to wind down we look back fondly through the trips we've taken... which means it's time for our yearly photo contest!
The rules are simple...
- The contest is open to Canadian residents only
- The photo must have been taken in 2016
- Send us your best photo of you or your family in a canoe, what you spotted while in your canoe, or even a snapshot of you portaging. What ever you like! Be sure to include where you were too.
- Contest ends November 30th
How do you enter?
Easy! E-mail us a photo, or send it to us on Facebook or Twitter (and give us a like or follow while you're there!)
The prizes are even bigger this year!
We'll post the entries as they are submitted below! Good luck, and we look forward to seeing the adventures you had this year. A HUGE thank you to MEC for supplying the gift cards (which you can use in-store or online to order gear for your 2017 adventures) and Outdoor Research for supplying the caps!
