Treasure Hunt

The Saskatoon Photography Club Treasure Hunt is a fun creative challenge designed to get members looking at familiar subjects in new ways.

For this year’s Treasure Hunt, members must photograph five different topics, all connected by the letter H:

2026–2027 Treasure Hunt Topics

1. The Letter H
   Find and photograph the letter H. It may be an actual letter on a sign or object, or you may discover an H-shaped form in architecture, nature, shadows, or everyday surroundings.
2. Harvest Gold
   Interpret the warm colours, textures, atmosphere, or character of harvest time. Think fields, grain, autumn light, agricultural details, or anything that creatively represents “Harvest Gold.”
3. Hang
   Explore the idea of hanging or being suspended. You might photograph something dangling, draped, suspended, or hanging from a support. Look for an interesting interpretation through light, shape, texture, movement, or storytelling.
4. Horse
   Capture a horse in a way that goes beyond a simple record photograph. Look for personality, movement, details, relationships, environment, light, or an unexpected perspective.
5. Hat
   Make a hat the subject of your photograph. It might be worn, displayed, isolated, creatively lit, or incorporated into a larger visual story.

The Challenge

Members must submit one complete set of five digital images, with one photograph representing each Treasure Hunt topic.

Important Guidelines

• One image must be submitted for each of the five topics.
• All five images must be submitted as a complete set.
• Entries should use minimal post-processing and manipulation.
• The emphasis is on observation, creativity, photographic technique, and interpretation of the assigned subjects.

The Treasure Hunt is meant to be fun, accessible, and challenging for photographers of every experience level. There is no single correct interpretation of a topic, so members are encouraged to think creatively and show us how they see each subject.

Five topics. Five photographs. One complete Treasure Hunt.
