Post-secondary students over the age of 18 have the opportunity to submit a design for the logo that will be a key element in the multi-year effort to bring Canadians together for our country’s ongoing celebration of 150 years of Confederation.
The logo should evoke feelings of pride, unity, and celebration, and it should reflect Canada as a diverse nation with a rich past and a promising future. A judging committee made up of community leaders and representatives from the arts, heritage, and educational sectors will develop a shortlist of qualified entries for final consideration.
In addition to the prestige and recognition of having his or her logo used as the Government of Canada’s brand for the 150th anniversary of Confederation, the winner will receive $5,000 and a display in one of Canada’s national institutions. Submissions for the Canada 150 Logo Design Contest will be accepted until January 23, 2015.
“I strongly encourage post-secondary students in Elmwood-Transcona to put their artistic talents into action and take part in the Canada 150 Logo Design Contest,” said MP Toet. “This is a wonderful opportunity for students to get creative and be a part of history in the making.”
