Tourism Saskatchewan’s annual ExploreSask Photo Contest is officially underway and accepting entries as of June 15.
Tourism Saskatchewan understands that the COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way people travel and participate in activities.
Practicing safe, physical distancing and following the advice of health officials is critical. But there are still many opportunities to enjoy the outdoors, discover new experiences and capture stunning images of our province.
Enter photographs of your favourite Saskatchewan adventures for a chance to win great prizes. Amateur and professional photographers are encouraged to submit their most striking images capturing the natural wonders of Saskatchewan and telling stories about the province’s people and communities.
