Help CBC Celebrate Alberta Arts Days! Visit the Alberta Cultureville Contest!

If you live in the most culturally cool community in the province, or you're the type of person your friends call an arts' aficionado, then we want to hear from you.

Enter the CBC Alberta Cultureville Contest and you could win some great prizes, including a live remote broadcast from CBC Radio One's alberta@noon with host Donna McElligott.

The winning community will win a live remote broadcast to kick off Alberta Arts Days on September 17. See how radio is made, and get your community noticed. There will be great hands-on experiences for individuals too, from our friends at Alberta Arts Days, the North and South Jubilee Auditorium, the Royal Alberta Museum, the Royal Tyrrell Museum and more.

The contest is open to all – and entering is easy.

Tell us what makes you or your community cultural significant, and what you have planned for Alberta Arts Days, September 17-19.
