The Burnaby Public Library is excited to announce a new Teen Art Contest that will highlight the talents and concerns of the coming generation of youth in Burnaby. This year’s theme is “Perfect World”.
The lives of teenagers have been changed in many ways due to the COVID-19 pandemic. All are coping in different ways and we believe that creating art is a wonderful way to express how we are feeling at this time. Whether you consider yourself a “doodler” or a “true artist”, we at the Burnaby Public Library invite you to submit artworks of your “Perfect World” for our Teen Art Contest.
This moment too is a historic time for the possibilities of hope. Whether you use the theme for escapism or to address issues you would like to see changed in our world, this winter break immerse yourself in a universe where the limitations of the ordinary are thrown out the window!
The winner and two runners up will receive gift certificates to DeSerres!
Contest closes Sunday, January 31 2021.
