Capture What Matters: Photo Contest Now Open

The Township of Hamilton, in partnership with the Environment and Climate Advisory Committee and the Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee, is pleased to announce the launch of Capture What Matters: a 2025 Photo Contest. We invite residents and visitors to submit photographs that celebrate the beauty, vibrancy, and unique character of our community.

Whether you're capturing the peacefulness of a forest trail, the energy of a local game, or the charm of a familiar place, we want to see how you experience the Township of Hamilton. Submit your photos for a chance to be featured in official Township promotions and win great prizes!

Contest Dates: May 16 to August 30, 2025

Contest Categories:

• Non-Motorized Sports and Activities: Highlight how you stay active outdoors—cycling, paddling, hiking, skating, horseback riding, and more. If it’s powered by you, it belongs here.
• Parks and Recreation: From playgrounds and trails to ball fields and lakefront views, this category celebrates the outdoor spaces that bring us together.
• Nature and Wildlife: Showcase the natural beauty of the Township—from rolling hills and local wildlife to changing seasons and scenic vistas.
• The Heart of Hamilton Township: Share the people, places, and experiences that reflect the true spirit of our community. This category embraces everything from local events to meaningful everyday moments.

We welcome submissions from photographers of all experience levels. Whether you’re using a professional camera or your phone, we look forward to seeing your perspective.
