Capture Edmonton Through Your Lens!

Explore Edmonton’s #SnapYEG photo challenge is your chance to showcase the beauty, energy, and hidden gems of our city! Every two weeks, we’ll drop a fresh theme on Instagram, inviting local photographers and storytellers to capture Edmonton’s sights and sounds. Our in-house judges will select two standout photo stories bi-weekly, and at the end of the month, the top four will go head-to-head in a public vote. The winner takes home a $500 Edmonton prize pack filled with incredible local experiences.

Ready to snap, share, and win? Stay tuned for the next challenge! #SnapYEG
