How do I Enter the Contest?

Three STAMPS gives you your first automatic entry into the draw for a Cape Breton Adventure Weekend. Every stamp after the first three will qualify for an additional entry.

In addition to this contest we are hosting weekly challenges to keep you chasing waterfalls throughout the season. We'll be announcing each new challenge on each Wednesday during the campaign on our social media channels. Be sure to follow us at @VisitCapeBretonIsland!

If you do not want to use the app and QR codes, you can take a photo of yourself and our waterfall sign and send the photos to [email protected]. We must receive three photos of yourself at different waterfalls to be entered into the contest. Every extra photo received will qualify for an additional entry.
