Photo Contest ‑ International Development Week 2026

Posted by Stephanie Rogers on January 21, 2026 in News

Dal AC International is excited to announce our plans for International Development Week (IDW) for 2026!

International Development week is a Canadian tradition since 1991, held during the first week of February, aimed at inspiring Canadians to learn more about, and engage with, Canada’s international development efforts.

The theme of IDW 2026 is “Prosperity through Partnership.” It highlights the importance of collaboration and the United Nations' 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as we work together toward a more just and sustainable world for all.

Photo Contest:

Dal AC International will be holding a photo contest to display how our Dal students engage with the SDGs.

Five photos will be selected as winners and each winner will receive a bursary prize of $200 to be paid directly on to their student accounts. The winner will also have their photo displayed as part of the Dal Agricultural Campus Community Fine Arts & Crafts Exhibit, which will display in the MacRae Library from February 26th to April 4th. Dal AC International will also display your photo on the Dal AC International Instagram and Facebook pages.

How to Enter:

1.      Select a photo that you feel represents your engagement with one or more of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

2.      Write a description of your photo outlining how your photo represents your engagement with the SDGs, and what working towards your chosen SDG means to you. Make sure your description is between 150 and 500 words in length.

3.      Send your photo and description to intdalac@dal.ca no later than 12:00pm on Wednesday January 28th. Be sure to include your B00# and your first and last name in your submission. You may also include your social media handles if desired so that we can tag you in our social media posts.
