The subject is our unique Canadian identity and the beauties of our country. There are five regional themes corresponding to the Atlantic Zone (Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Prince Edward Island and Nunavut), the Pacific Zone (British Columbia and the Yukon), the Prairie Zone (Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and the Northwest Territory), the Ontario Zone and the Quebec Zone. You may enter your image in any theme, either as a resident or as a visitor, provided your photo is from that zone.
Definition
CAPA offers the following ideas as examples: cultural heritage, historical events or locations, iconic landscapes or cityscapes, rough landscapes, seasonal uniqueness, nature, wildlife specific to Canada and architecture. In addition, symbols of caring, confidence, courage, encouraging or helping others, nurturing, pride, respect, self-sacrifice and trust are also suggested.
VCC members submitting images to VCC should be sure to indicate which Zone each photo illustrates.
