There's a new prize contest for young Montrealers who get vaccinated. The new contest is in addition to the ongoing Quebec vaccine lottery.

The Quebec Video Game Guild and Santé Montreal are offering scholarship prizes of up to $5,000, totalling $25,000 in prizes.

How do you enter? It's pretty simple.

All you'll need to do is share a photo of yourself on social media with the hashtag #GamerVaccinated_e to have a chance to win. You must post and submit your photo by October 1, 2021.

The prize draw is eligible to young Montrealers who have received at least one dose of a vaccine between May 25 and October 1, 2021.

The draw will take place on October 15, 2021.

Health Canada has a robust website with all the latest information on COVID-19 vaccines and can answer any questions you may have.
