Recently, a program has been launched by the Northeastern Ontario Tourism Association to celebrate and promote the Group of Seven landscape painters, the most recognized art movement in Canada. In conjunction with the Group of Seven Festival at Killarney Provincial Park, Killarney Mountain Lodge would like to invite landscape painters to participate in a contest by submitting a painting to be judged in a juried competition. Prizes will be awarded for the paintings that best interpret the northern landscape that inspired the Group of Seven.

The lodge is offering a first prize of four complimentary days for two persons at the lodge in 2014 that includes accommodation, all meals and two excursion cruises. A second prize will also be awarded offering a similar package for two persons for two days.
