Calendar Contest 2011

We live in a province teeming with life that is rich in diversity. No matter where you live - from the Golden Horseshoe to the James Bay Frontier or from the Ottawa Valley to the Lake of the Woods - you need not travel far to see alluring beauty all around you. We are truly fortunate to live in such a magnificent province.

To commemorate the exquisiteness of Ontario, the Green Party of Ontario started an annual calendar contest in 2010. The premise is simple: people select best photos of scenes from Ontario, and submit them for an online vote. The 12 photos with the most points are placed in the next calendar.

This year, we have received a staggering 431 photos from 92 individuals, both from our own members and also the general public. The photos are as varied as Ontario itself, and of outstanding quality. We sincerely appreciate the generosity of the photographers who submitted their photos for this endeavour.

Everyone is welcome to vote on their favourite photos, and no registration is required. Simply click the "Start Voting" image below, and rate as many or as few photos as you like. The order of the photos are different for each person and change each day, so no one photo has an unfair advantage of being always 'first' on the list.

If you see a photo that you really like, be sure to click on the 'share' graphic, and post it on all of your social networks, including Facebook and Twitter. Voting closes on July 31st, so please don't delay, tell your friends about the contest and start voting now!

Fill out the form on the upper-right hand corner, and we will keep you up to date on the contest, the winning photos, and when the calendar becomes available this fall.

We hope you enjoy looking at the photos and choosing your favourites as much as we did.
