Display Your Pride Contest

Happy Pride Month 2021!

June is Pride Month and the Humber 2SLGBTQ+ Employee Resource Group is proud to present Display Your Pride Contest.

This year’s theme is Lifting Up Queer Voices.

How creative, colourful, extravagant and sustainable can you get with your individual spaces? Spaces may include your work or study from home “office” space, balcony, backyard, or any other space you want to show off.

This year, we challenge you to decorate your individual spaces through a sustainability lens. Not sure what that might look like? Our friends from the Office of Sustainability has put together a wonderful guide. Please click here to gain tips, tricks, and ideas on how to sustainability decorate your space.

Not a decorator? No problem! This year we will also be accepting original Zoom or MS Teams background designs. Let’s see some of your original creative work.

Please remember that this is an individual contest, and this means that you cannot enter the contest as a department or team. This is your time to shine! Please see full contest guidelines below.
