Historic Places Days Photo/Video Contest
What would you do with $500 or a National Trust Membership?
Contest runs July 11-20, 2025
The National Trust for Canada is giving exciting prizes during Historic Places Days. With hundreds of registered places and events open to the public this summer, you have even more opportunities to participate in Historic Places Days than ever before. We encourage you to visit a participating historic place and take a selfie, photo or short video of the place. If you’re not able to visit in person, we welcome you to share a cherished photo or video you’ve taken of the place during a previous visit. To enter the contest:
- Post your photo or short video on your Instagram or Facebook with #HistoricPlacesDays and #HPDContest2025
- Tag the historic place
- Tag and follow @nationaltrustca
If you’re at a Parks Canada site be sure to include #ParksCanada to show some support to our Historic Places Days partner and major sponsor. We would also love to hear the story of your visit, and about what the place means to you – feel free to share details in your photo or video captions!
