New Categories
This year, the contest will be divided into segments to better represent the mountain throughout the seasons. Each segment will feature categories that will be unveiled in the coming months.
Until June 20, 2021, we invite photographers to explore the following categories:
- Category 1 - The Mountain: Winter Fun and Fresh Air: showcase seasonal activities and sites on Mount Royal

- Category 3 - Youth Vision: for participants under 18 years old
- Category 4 – Ground-level view of the mountain: change your point of view and be as close as possible to the ground to capture Mount Royal. It’s on this ground surface you’ll enjoy the best of spring’s lushness!
- Category 5 – Colours in bloom: humans, nature and buildings are freed from snow and frost to show their greatest looks… can you emphasize all these colours to get some attention?
- Category - Instagram: get inspired and share your vision of the mountain with #mtroyalphoto2021
Stay tuned for new categories throughout the seasons!
