The Bras d’Or Lake P-12 Creativity Contest 2012

“We Share the Lake”

The Bras d’Or Stewardship Society and the Bras d’Or Lake Biosphere Reserve Association invited homeschooled and public school students in Cape Breton to enter an art and writing contest that celebrates the Bras d’Or Lake. The Lake is now a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, which is an international designation of recognition for an area in the world deemed to demonstrate a “balanced relationship between humans and the biosphere.”

Inspired by this designation, the contest’s theme this year is “We Share The Lake”. Artwork submitted must support this theme. Judges were photographer Carol Kennedy of North River, painter Virginia McCoy of Inverness, bookbinder and paper artist Katherine Scott of Gabarus, and watercolour painter Kenny Boone of Dominion.

This year’s winning artwork, as well as honorable mentions, are now on display at the Mayflower Mall: May 5th, 2012 to  May 11th, 2012. Congratulations to all winners! Come out and see this marvelous work!
