To enter, just send me a little trinket, souvenir, or object that shows off a Canadian place. It must have the name of the community on it, as part of an intrinsic part of the object (i.e., you can’t just write it in sharpie).
Your entire submission must fit in a letter-sized envelope.
YOU MUST INCLUDE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS SO I CAN CONTACT YOU IF YOU WIN.
This contest is open to everyone living in Canada (Quebec included). You need to be the age of majority where you live. No purchase required. You can send something from outside Canada if you like, but it will not be entered into the contest.
Entries must reach me by September 15, 2025 at 5:00 p.m. Pacific. If the mail shows up late, or ends up in Eyebrow SK, that’s out of my hands.
Submissions will not be returned.
One entry per household. If you send extras, they won’t count. And if your province or territory doesn’t allow contests like this, then it’s void there.
Grand Prizes: A gift box of B.C. food worth about $175, six premium newsletter subscriptions, and a custom video about your town. The prizes aren’t transferable, and if something changes I may swap in a prize of equal or greater value. Whoever wins takes the prize as-is, and agrees that I can’t be held liable for how it’s used or enjoyed.
I’ll be picking the winner myself, based on creativity, size, and overall appeal. Odds of winning just depend on how many people enter. I’ll email the winner, so keep an eye on your inbox and your spam folder. If I don’t hear back within 48 hours, the runner-up will get the prize.
By sending something in, you’re saying it’s fine for me to show your entry and mention your name and town in my content.
This contest follows the laws of British Columbia and Canada. Any info you give me will only be used to run the contest.
