Climate Change & Me Photo Contest
Enter Water Doc’s 3rd Annual Photo Contest
How is climate change showing up in your life? We invite you to show us in a photograph submitted to our third annual photo contest.
Submitting is free and will be open until April 15 Earth Day, April 22. All submitters will be placed into a participation draw for the chance to win a Stefani Terracotta Water Purifier courtesy of Anarres Natural Health Apothecary. Once the submission period has closed, the public will then be able to vote on the entries for a period of one week, until April 29. The number of votes per entry will then determine the winners and a single prize will be awarded to the photographs that receive the most votes in first, second and third place.
The theme of this year’s photography contest is Climate Change & Me and anyone in the world is welcome to submit an entry. We can't wait to see the amazing submissions from our pro, amateur, and just-for-fun photographers and supporters.
Photos submitted can be old or new but must have been taken by you. Photos must depict the theme of Climate Change & Me. For example, you can share an image of what you are personally doing to combat the climate crisis, or an image of how climate change is impacting your community, or even one of solutions that already exist to combat the effects of the climate crisis. You are encouraged to write a few sentences of what the photo depicts to help give us some context and tie it into our theme.

For decades, the gravel mining industry has blasted, dug, crushed and trucked across Ontario with apparent impunity.
The gravel mining industry is authorized to extract thirteen times more gravel every year than what we use, from more than 5,000 existing gravel mining sites in Ontario.
The provincial government allows the gravel mining industry to consume on average an additional 5,000 acres of land each year.
We — the people of Ontario — demand that our government impose an immediate moratorium on all new gravel mining approvals, until an independent panel can chart a new path forward.

““The climate crisis has already been solved. We already have the facts and solutions. All we have to do is wake up and change.””
Every time I enter the ocean, it shows me something beautiful and unexpected. I’m looking for sharks, and a fin whale surfaces, breath bursting into fine mist. Sea lion pups encourage me to play, spinning in the water, swimming fast then turning on a dime and blowing bubbles. Floating at the surface, a comb jelly mesmerises me with rainbow bands of bioluminescence.
