To celebrate 125 years of national parks in Canada - and raise further awareness for the parks - the Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society is inviting you to create a short (under 2 minutes) video about one of Canada's national parks.
It's very easy: Just tell the world why you think the park you've chosen is so amazing - and you could win great prizes! And you don't have to record the video from the park - you can film at your home or anywhere else you like. You can even use your smart phone or webcam.
The deadline is Oct 12 - but it's in your best interest to submit as early as possible to be considered for the weekly draws and to accumulate more votes for your video.
