Contest sites are a bit boring, huh? Just gobs of text and the occasional image of a product like toilet paper or a can of soup. It’s time to add some colour and character. So we’ve decided to create a new ContestCanada mascot. And we want you to help us choose one!
Naturally, we’re going to bribe you for input using a contest! The prize is your choice of a whopping $20, or an autographed copy of my grade 8 English essay “The Hobbit: Fiction… or Fact?!” To enter, help us choose a loveable Canadian mammal. Post a comment below telling us which you like better and you’ll be entered in the contest draw. NOTE: you don’t need to register to comment, but you do need to include a valid email. Your email will not be publicly viewable or shared with any third party.
There are two choices:
- Earl the squirrel, a rodent that likes to stuff his face and yell at people from a safe distance, or…
- Rene the raccoon, who likes to creep around at night and eat garbage
The rules: Canadians only! One entry per person. Contest ends on October 6, 2024. Winner will be notified by email. Age limit: 14 or older. The cash prize will be delivered via e-transfer.
Entry Frequency: single

Earl the squirrel is the dude.
Rene the raccoon
Earl the Squirrel – love him!

Earl the Squirrel. Rene looks alright, but he’s a little generic. Carl’s rumpled shirt and chubby shape give him a unique and endearing character that matches the banter in each contest. This site has personality, and so does he!
Earl the Squirrel he looks relaxed, happy and proud to be Canadian eh
Rene the Raccoon
My beagles would chase Earl the squirrel away and having raised baby raccoons and in honour of International Raccoon Appreciation Day, I have to go with Rene Raccoon!

I initially liked the raccoon due to the unique patterns (stripes), but the squirrel is the better choice because his face has more character. I think he looks more helpful, which is something Contest Canada aims to do :).
Rene the Racoon is so lovely. You could just eat him up!!
Rene the Raccoon, he is so cute! Best wishes
Earl, all the way
