Submit your most inspiring photos for our 60th anniversary calendar

RIDEAU VALLEY, May 5, 2025 – As part of our upcoming 60th anniversary celebrations, the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority (RVCA) is creating a calendar to showcase the beauty and resilience of our watershed.

We invite all photographers – amateur and professional alike – to submit their most awe-inspiring photos from across the Rideau Valley for a chance to be featured.

Whether you’re snapping sunsets, enjoying a winter walk or exploring our many lakes and rivers, we want to see the beauty of our watershed through your eyes.

Winners will have their photo published with credit on one of 12 available months. They will also receive an annual parking pass to our conservation areas valued at $60 and a copy of the calendar.

Submissions will be accepted between now and September 30, 2025. Suggested categories are: Natural landscapes, Wildlife in Action, On the Water and Wonderful Weather.  Photos can feature the Rideau Valley’s urban, rural and natural environments in any season, as long as they’re taken within the watershed and do not include any identifiable people. Contestants can enter as many photos as they wish (one per form). 

The 2026 calendar will be available for purchase ahead of the 2025 holiday shopping season in support of our charitable partner, the Rideau Valley Conservation Foundation. Be part of our story as we celebrate 60 years of conservation together! Learn more and start submitting: www.rvca.ca/calendar
