Thru Your Eyes - Presented by Park Power

Explore Strathcona County and Park Power are inviting residents to share images of Strathcona County, Fort Saskatchewan, Sherwood Park region - as they experience it - local moments, hidden gems, favourite businesses, nature, events, and everyday life. We want to see the community - thru your eyes. #ThruYourEyes2026

HOW IT WORKS: 

Participants simply (1) share their photos on Facebook and / or Instagram; (2) tag Explore Strathcona County and Park Power; (3) using our branded hashtag #ThruYourEyes2026; and (4) upload their photo submissions via our convenient Photo Submission Link.

Each month, one contributor will win a $50 gift card* (or credit) to spend with a local business of their choice, or give to the charity of their choice, helping us further support local. *May be subject to some restrictions. 

We are delighted to be supporting aspiring photographers - amateur or professional. Any photos shared on the Explore Strathcona County website(s) will be credited to the photographer and we will be building a gallery. It's a great opportunity to build your portfolio and some additional recognition.

Photo Categories -No Limit!

We don't want to limit your creative genius - please share what you love. Capture a photo that reflects your view of the community — local life, people, places, events, businesses, favourite restaurants, food & beverage, or nature. We're happy to accept photos in all categories.

*Participants must be the owner of the photo they are sharing and we will require media releases for any photos showing people's recognizable faces. See full contest rules.
