Enter the Re:Location photo competition for your chance to win one of three cash prizes
Community relocations are part of the story of what has and continues to shape Canada as a country. As part of our educational project on relocations in Canada, we want to know: what does home mean to you?
We’re looking for photographs that capture your personal concept of home, be it the house you grew up in, a place you visit when you need to rest and recharge, a landmark that makes your community unique, or a person who represents comfort, hope and identity. In this uncertain time of social and physical distancing amid a global pandemic, home has become even more important. It’s not just where we spend most of our time; it’s where we find safety, balance, creativity and, hopefully, joy.
Submit an image and tell us the story behind it for a chance to win one of three cash prizes, including the grand prize of $1,000.
Photo entries must be original material and must not have been a winner in another national competition
Entries may have been taken in any time period and anywhere in the world as long as they are the photographer’s own work and are accompanied by a detailed explanatory caption as outlined below
Entries must be accompanied by a detailed description (minimum 50 words) explaining the subject of the image and why/how the image expresses the concept of home for the photographer
All entries must be submitted electronically as .jpg files through the competition website. Digital reproductions of prints or slides are acceptable

Uprooted repeatedly by development projects, the Oujé-Bougoumou Cree wandered boreal Quebec for 70 years before finding a permanent home. For some, the journey continues.
