Enter your best photos from this summer to win prizes in July, August, and September.
We’re bringing back an ACC tradition with the GreenGreyWhite Photo Contest.

August's Theme: "Huts" - Sponsored by Rab

About the contest
Why an Instagram contest?
Follow us on Instagram at @alpineclubcan, and tag us in the photo to enter your images of adventure, outdoors and mountain community and to allow us to feature your image throughout the contest.
The winner each month will be the photographer of our favourite photo submitted. We’re looking for images that capture the GreenGreyWhite spirit, more than anything – images that portray the beauty of the spaces we play and the passion that people have for these environments. Good luck and happy trails!
Entering the monthly contest is easy:
- Follow @alpineclubcan and our partner on Instagram
- Tag us in your photo of the theme for the month
- That’s it, you’re entered. Watch our Instagram accounts for monthly winners
The ACC is a big club – or rather 26 clubs. Our 19,000+ members and 26 sections from Vancouver Island to Newfoundland & Labrador to the Yukon are made up of passionate climbers, skiers and hikers. We’re all part of the same national club but we don’t see each other that much. GreenGreyWhite is our effort to connect our members in every corner of our country.
The ACC’s GreenGreyWhite photo contest is about showing Canada, the world and our own members what it is to be a part of the ACC. It’s a walk in the park, it’s a summer crag day, it’s a glacier ski, it’s a mountaineer’s peak, it’s anything that makes you get outside, smile and enjoy the outdoors.
What's Green Grey and White all about?
Green, Grey and White are the colours of the ACC’s brand, and represent the forests, rocks and snow/ice of the alpine environment where we recreate. These are the places our club has loved and skied, hiked and climbed in (as well as worked to protect) for over 120 years. GreenGreyWhite celebrates our sports, our club and our connected passion across Canada from coast to coast to coast. We want you to share your pride of the ACC and your pride of the Canadian outdoors. Your job is to take photos of your Green Grey and White adventures.
Contest means I can win stuff, right?
Right! We’ll be giving away a prize for our favourite image each month this summer (July, August, and September). What kind of prizes? We’ve got a stacked list of prizes coming your way for this summer. Think sleeping bags, tents, mountain radios, backpacks and jackets.
Each month’s winning image and runners up will also be shared on the @alpineclubcan Instagram account.
