Know someone making a real difference in your community?
Celebrate people who make a game-changing impact
In each Atlantic province, one Community Game Changer will be selected to direct a $25,000 donation to a not-for‑profit or charitable cause close to their heart. To recognize their time and dedication, each recipient will also receive two VIP passes to an Atlantic Lottery sponsored festival or event in 2027.
How it works
1. Think of someone making an impact in your local community. It could be a volunteer in their community, someone involved with charitable groups, a founder/leader of community-driven organizations or a changemaker of any kind. It could even be you! Nominations are open for both self-nominations or the nominations of others.
2. Complete the nomination form available by clicking the button below. Not sure you have all the details? That’s okay. We’ll contact the nominee by email to let them know they’ve been nominated and collect any additional information needed.
3. Submit your nomination before the deadline: June 15, 2026.
