The Okanagan College Earth Matters event has been postponed until the fall as the deadline for submissions has been extended.
Entries for the environmental art competition and symposium will be accepted until October 20th, 2015. The symposium and award event recognizing the winning art pieces will follow in mid-November.
Artists can participate in two categories: secondary school students in Grades 10 to 12 and a second category for any adults age 18 and older.
The art entries must reflect on one of the four themes; biodiversity, water resources, waste, and climate change, which will be the focus of the academic symposium.
Prizes for the winner in each category include a $500 tuition bursary for the secondary school division, and the adult open category winners will receive a one-day workshop with internationally acclaimed nature artist Terry Isaac at his studio in Penticton.
Details about the symposium, and winning entries will be made available in the fall. For more information about the Earth Matters competition, including artwork submission guidelines, please visit www.okanagan.bc.ca/earthmatters.
