Canada 150 Logo Design Contest • Canadian post-secondary students—especially those students in the arts and design community—are invited to take part in the Canada 150 Logo Design Contest. • Be part of history in the making and create an image that will be used to promote the 150th anniversary of Confederation. • The contest is open from December 5, 2014, until January 23, 2015. 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. • 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 Canadas national institutions. • As we prepare to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Confederation in 2017, creating a national, recognizable brand that Canadians can identify will encourage participation in this significant milestone.
