Award Eligibility: Open to all Indigenous students attending AUArts full-time, part-time or graduating, including graduates of AUArts within two years post-graduation

Award Details: A student finalist whose artwork is selected by the Donor will receive a first-prize award of $3,000, and two other student finalists whose artwork are selected by the Donor will receive runner-up prizes of $1,500. The winning pieces of art will be displayed in the Calgary office of Osler, Hoskin & Harcourt LLP for a period of approximately 2 weeks and will then be put up for auction among members of the firm. For clarity, submitted artwork, if selected, will be sold and cannot be committed to any other use.

The proceeds raised from the auction will be directed towards an initiative that supports Indigenous communities/people. The student finalists whose works are selected by the Donor will be invited to work with the Donor to select the initiative to which the funds will be directed based on an approved shortlist of choices, with the Donor having the final determination of which initiative(s) will benefit from the proceeds of such auction.

The student finalists will have the opportunity to showcase their name, contact information and business cards (if available) with their chosen artwork, and be given the opportunity, if desired, to speak to their artwork at the commencement of the auction. The student finalists will work with the Donor to arrange the shipment of the chosen artwork to the Calgary office in advance of the auction.

Deadline: October 23, 2022
