Alberta TrailNet Society launch trailblazing contest

By Lethbridge Herald on April 12, 2022.

Alberta TrailNet Society is encouraging kids to build a trail at home and enter to win a prize with a contest that launches on Monday. The organization is also providing Trail Adventure Bingo and other fun activities for families to enjoy while exploring Alberta’s trails.
Anyone can participate in the ‘Future Trail Builders Contest’ challenge and everyone who submits a photo or video will receive an official “I am a Trail Builder” certificate, regardless of their age or location. With parental permission, trail creations can be posted on social media with the hashtag #iamatrailbuilder and Alberta TrailNet will share emailed entries on its social media channels.
Kids are invited to build a trail and email photos or a video of their creation to Alberta TrailNet. They can build it from any material they choose — Lego blocks, sand or dirt, or draw or paint it on paper, cardboard or anything else. Participants must choose a name and permitted uses for their trail as well as provide a brief blurb explaining their trail and building process.
Alberta TrailNet is giving away eight prizes of $100 each to Alberta kids with the most creative entries. Contest applicants must live in Alberta and be aged from three to 15. Submissions will be separated by age group and category (two-dimensional or three-dimensional trail design).
Eight winners will be selected. An expert panel will judge the entries in four different age categories (3-6; 7-10; 11-13; 14-16).
Visit the Alberta TrailNet at http://www.albertatrailnet.com/for-communities/children-in-nature/ for full contest details and entry forms.  
The contest closes June 4.
The Future Trail Builders Contest is a way to celebrate trails and to recognize that we can all play a part in planning, building and protecting them. Alberta TrailNet invites children and parents to take this opportunity to learn about trails and trail building, and to feel more connected to the trails they use and enjoy.
