With the upcoming long weekend, Youth Central’s Mayor’s Youth Council has an exciting opportunity for youth artists and writers alike! This year, the Calgary’s MYC is organizing the first annual Youth Art and Writing Contest.
Why join? If you’re passionate about art/writing already, you can submit one of your previously created pieces or make a new piece for judging and a chance to showcase your work in Calgary’s City Hall! Award certificates will also be given to winning artists.
Rumor has it that Mayor Nenshi will even be present at the showcasing of the winner’s piece. Whether that is true or otherwise, why not give it a shot?
The only requirement is that your piece must fit on a flat, letter-sized sheet of paper (aka your regular sheet of printer paper). This means submissions from drawings and paintings, to photographs and poems are all fair game!
The theme for this year’s Art and Writing Contest is to create:
[an] original, and authentic representation of the youth experience in Calgary
This is open to all youth between the ages of 12 and 18 and the deadline is June 1st, 2018.
Interested? Head over to the official Facebook page to get more details on how to submit and receive notifications of any updates.
Calgary’s MYC has been working hard this year to get youth of all walks to get involved, so artists, writers, photographers, it’s your time to shine!
