Boating Memories Contest: Canadian Boating Invites your Stories. Win Prizes, too!

July 25, 2024

Canadian Boating invites our readers to share in our first ever Boating Memories Story Contest and for that, you will need to be out on the water creating your content!

We are asking for a 350–1000-word story including 3-5 photos (preferably 300 dpi or better). The nature of your essay should be about a particular fond memory you have from boating or a general essay about why you love boating. A reference to the uniqueness of boating in your area of Canada is always welcome too!

As Canadian Boaters, we are so fortunate to be surrounded by Canada’s inland lakes and coasts and we should celebrate that! Winning stories will be published in an upcoming issue of Canadian Boating Magazine PLUS; the top three stories will win an online chandlery gift card valued at $100-$300! All questions and entries can be submitted to jillsnider@kerrwil.com.
