How to Enter

Live Net Zero Email Service

It’s easy to enter – for a chance to win big prizes.

Live Net Zero is an invitation to explore what sustainable living looks like for you – and to be part of a national community of Canadians making change. 

Take as little as 15 minutes to tell us about your household’s sustainable living journey using our online form.

We’re looking for meaningful action and impact, along with compelling storytelling.

Households of all kinds are welcome to enter.

A valid entry requires:

(A) 100–500 words about your household’s actions

Provide a clear picture of the sustainable living actions you’re taking or planning across one or more areas of your daily life – from your home, to how you get around, to how you celebrate and play, to your food, “stuff” or money. It’s great if you include actions that lots of people can take. 

Tell the story in your own voice, without defaulting to bullet points. Humour and emotion are welcome!

(B) 1–5 photos or a short video

Share at least one photo or a video (up to three minutes) to bring your story to life.

(C) Up to 100 words about your household

Share a brief description to help us showcase different households, places and experiences from across Canada.

Enter multiple times!

  • One strong entry can win the Grand Prize. But by entering 2–3 times, you can show more of your journey and be eligible to win additional $1,000 and $500 prizes.
  • You can submit up to three different entries over the contest period (15 Sept 2026 – 28 Feb 2027).
  • Think of your entries as chapters in your journey, not three versions of the same story: come back to tell us how it went, share more actions or describe next steps.

Entered last year? Welcome back! Tell us what’s changed or what you’re taking on next.
