Competition history

The pARTicipate Poster Competition project has been running bi-annually since 2009 with its aim to foster imagination, criticality, visual thinking, graphic design skills and to promote social awareness and activism.

Background

The 7th pARTicipate Poster Competition’s theme It’s Possible! is motivated by Canada’s National Career Month – celebrated each November – but extends this dialogue beyond the original month-long focus.

To promote and advance the agenda of achieving employment goals, we are seeking posters that represent an examination of the role of work in creating an accessible, equitable and hopeful world. Students may want to consider what is possible if work or career took into consideration factors that impact the future and well-being of society.
