CALL FOR TALENT
Humber Students for the Colleges and Institutes Canada 2015 Art Showcase
DEADLINE: Friday, February 27th at 5pm.
At Humber, we're no stranger to the innovation and creativity that our students have to offer. We want to help showcase this talent at the National level!
We are asking Humber's faculty and staff to recommend students to showcase talent on the walls of CICan’s national office at the Château Laurier in Ottawa. For the 2015 Art Showcase, CICan invites students from colleges and institutes across the country to submit their illustrations, paintings, photos, fabrics, sculptures and technical drawings. The work must be ready for display and the student must be currently enrolled at Humber College.
PRIZES AWARDED BY CICan:
1st Place: $500
2nd Place: $400
3rd Place: $300
A “President’s Choice Award” will also be awarded to the best piece by an Indigenous artist in honour of CICan’s Indigenous Education Protocol. The winner of this award will receive a prize of $400.
Each piece sent in by a finalist will also be displayed at the CICan offices, and will receive recognition on CICan’s website and in various Association publications.
A prize of $200 will also be awarded to the best submission from each membership region (BC/Yukon, Alberta/Northwest Territories, Manitoba/ Saskatchewan/ Nunavut, Ontario, Quebec, Atlantic).
Finally, the finalists’ artwork will be prominently displayed at CICan’s 2015 Annual Conference, which will take place from May 24-26 in Winnipeg.
