Show us what makes your hometown feel like home.
As we celebrate 75 years of community building, we’re honouring the places and people that shaped us, then and now. This year’s Hometown Snapshots theme invites you to share the moments that capture the heart of your community from today or decades past.
Whether it’s a view from the farm, a stroll down Main Street, a weekend at the rodeo or a glimpse into your family’s photo albums — we’re looking for snapshots that show rural Alberta life through your lens.
✽ Submit your photo capturing life in rural Alberta — past or present — and tell us what it means to you.
✽ Share your entry on social media to gather votes from friends, family and your community.
