The City launches #iVoteBecause Social Media Contest

The City of Mississauga is inviting Mississauga youth ages 17-25 to share the reasons why they will vote in the October 27 municipal election.

Using the hashtag #IvoteBecause, contestants can share their reason, post a picture or create a video on social media. The most meaningful and creative reasons could win money towards school.


Winners and Prizes
1st prize is $2000 towards College or University
2nd prize is $1000 towards College or University
3rd prize is $500 toward College or University 

Winners will be chosen based on creativity, meaningfulness and social media reach.
