The Advocacy Centre, with the participation of the Legal Services Society of BC, is having an art contest for area secondary school students.
The theme of the competition is human rights or the exercise of legal rights. The winning artist will receive $100 in prize money.
“We’re excited to see the submissions by the young artists,” said Amy Taylor, program manager of The Advocacy Centre. “We’re hoping to see art that celebrates the human rights we enjoy in Canada and in BC. The artwork could celebrate those rights or acknowledge the challenges and impediments to exercising those rights.”
The terms and conditions of the competition can be accessed through The Advocacy Centre’s website https://advocacycentre.org/ or by calling the Centre at 250-352-5777. Submissions must be made before 5 p.m. on March 15, 2018.
Since 1988, The Advocacy Centre, a program of Nelson CARES, has provided legal information for low-income residents of the West Kootenays.
