Photo Contest

Celebrate Local Government Awareness Week by showing us why Sparwood is your favourite.

Share your favorite photo of the community on our Photo Contest Facebook post for a chance to win a Sparwood prize package and get your photo recognized!

The contest is open to anyone who loves, lives or visits the community of Sparwood. Each photographer may submit up to 5 images. We encourage photos of all seasons, so if the photo wasn’t taken this summer – that is okay.

The winner will be determined by a random draw of the top 5 photos with the most ‘Likes’.
Don’t forget to vote for your favorites by ‘liking’ the image.
Contest closes May 30, 2022 at 4 pm MST.
