Share your holiday moment

This holiday season, the Canadian Cancer Society (CCS) is inviting people on social media to share  stories that hold significant meaning through the theme, “Every moment is a gift.” This CCS social media contest will accept photo or video social submissions that illustrate these special moments, which will be shared across CCS social media network including Facebook, Instagram, X and TikTok.

Social media contest submissions will be accepted from those who follow CCS on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, or X.

The contest starts on Tuesday, November 12, 2024 at 12:01 am EST, and ends on Tuesday, December 31, 2024 at 11:59 pm EST.

The contest is open to legal residents of Canada over the age of majority in their province or territory.

If you have a photo or video story you want to share about what "every moment is a gift" means to you, we'd love to see it. You don't have to share a cancer experience to enter the contest.

First, log in to your account on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, or X. Make sure you are following the Canadian Cancer Society on the social platform on which you are entering the contest:

Facebook: @CanadianCancerSociety or @societecanadienneducancer
Instagram: @CancerSociety or @societeducancer
Tiktok: @CancerSociety or @societeducancer
X: @CancerSociety or @societeducancer

Next, post a video or photo of your favourite holiday memory on your own account. Each post must include the hashtag #EveryMomentIsAGift and tag the Canadian Cancer Society.

You must ensure that your account is public and that you own any image or video that you submit.

No. There is a limit of 1 entry per person, regardless of the social platform you choose to share your post on.

The Canadian Cancer Society will randomly select 3 potential winners from among all eligible entries for each of the prize draws as per the rules and regulations. All draws will be made using Random Number Generator software under the supervision of a member of the Canadian Cancer Society.

Winners will be randomly selected on Monday, January 13, 2025, at approximately 12:00 p.m. EST in Toronto, Ontario. Winners will be contacted no less than 2 times by direct message on the social media platform they used to enter the contest, during the 5-day period immediately following the draw date.

The winners will be required to sign and return a completed release, and answer a skill-testing question during a pre-arranged telephone call. See Contest Rules and Regulations below for details.

The Canadian Cancer Society will then arrange for the prize to be shipped out to the winner based on the mailing information provided by the winner.

Please reach out to the Canadian Cancer Society through the social platform you were contacted on about your prize. Please note that prizes for all winners will be shipped after the winner has completed and provided their signed release.

Depending on the location, it may take 3-6 weeks to arrive from the time we receive the notification that a participant qualifies for a prize.

The Canadian Cancer Society (CCS) will be sharing eligible photos and videos submitted through the contest on CCS communication channels, including but not limited to social media, email and cancer.ca. See Contest Rules and Regulations below for details.

The Canadian Cancer Society works tirelessly to save and improve lives.

We fund the brightest minds in cancer research. We provide a compassionate support system for all those affected by cancer, from coast to coast and for all types of cancer. As the voice for Canadians who care about cancer, we work with governments to establish health policies to prevent cancer and better support those living with the disease.

Together with patients, supporters, donors and volunteers, we work to create a healthier future for everyone. Because to take on cancer, it takes all of us. It takes a society.
