Calling all photography enthusiasts and nature lovers!

Starting April 22, in celebration of Earth Day and Clean Air Day, we are launching our 2026 Photo Contest to showcase the beauty of clean air and to inspire others to appreciate and protect it. The contest will run from April 22 – June 3, 2026.

There will be 1 prize awarded:

$150 Amazon Gift Card - awarded on Clean Air Day, June 3, 2026, to the Top photo of all contest entries, selected by the Alberta Airsheds Council.

Here's how you can enter:

1. Find your inspiration

Step outside and find your inspiration in the clear skies, lush landscapes, or any element that represents clean air to you. It could be a serene park, a blooming flower, or even people enjoying an eco-friendly activity.

2. Capture your moment of clean air in a photograph.

Let your creativity shine and tell a story through your lens. Remember to focus on composition, lighting, and the overall impact of your image.

3. Post your photo on Instagram or Facebook between April 22 – June 3, 2026.

Use the hashtag #AACPhotoContest2026 and tagging our official account @AlbertaAirsheds. Make sure your profile is public so we can see your entry.

4. Spread the word!

Encourage your friends, family, and followers to participate by sharing our posts and inviting them to join the contest. Together, we can raise awareness about the importance of clean air through the power of photography.

Winner will be selected based on creativity, and relevance to the theme of clean air. Prize will be awarded and the winning photo will be featured on our website, social media platforms and other materials to inspire others.

REMEMBER: Every photo has the potential to make a difference and create awareness. Let your camera be a tool to inspire positive change for clean air and a healthier future. Get ready to capture the essence of clean air!
