One idea will lead to $50,000 – could it be yours?
Have you ever pondered the
effect that charities have on your
world? Many of us know at least
10 charities off the top of our
heads, however, what impact do
charities have in a collective manner?
Imagine Canada and the Muttart Foundation are sponsoring a national contest, Students (Verb) Charities, for post-secondary students, and the grand prize is a whopping $50,000. The secondplace winner will take home $25,000 and the third-place winner will be awarded $10,000.
Participants submit a campaign in any format or medium featuring the collective impact the charitable sector has, with a focus on the depth, scope and reach that the sector has. Use your creativity to highlight the impact the sector has on the world you live in!
Bob Wyatt, executive director at the Muttart Foundation, said he is looking forward to the creativity students have to offer, and the opportunity for students to reflect upon what the charitable sector has contributed. "We have deliberately kept the format and medium of the contest flexible because we want young people to be as creative as possible in helping us take a fresh look at ourselves."
Marcel Lauzière, CEO of Imagination Canada, added, "This is an opportunity for young people to become more engaged with charities. In addition to looking forward to seeing the campaigns, we also look forward to connecting with the next generation of leaders in our sector."
The submission deadline is November 30. For more information, check out studentsverbcharities.ca.
