National Democracy Challenge Winners Announcement
(firmenpresse) - GATINEAU, QUEBEC -- (Marketwired) -- 03/26/15 -- The Chief Electoral Officer of Canada Marc Mayrand is pleased to announce the winners of the National Democracy Challenge 2014.
In September 2014, Elections Canada asked students between the ages of 14 and 17 to show us why Canada should vote with a creative and innovative video, image or artwork, or piece of writing.
"Despite not yet being of voting age, Canadian youth demonstrated their interest in their democracy and the electoral system," said Mr. Mayrand. "I congratulate this year's winners - and all of the participants - for their great work and inspiring vision, and for being civically engaged."
This year's winning entries were selected by a jury of accomplished Canadians: Canada's top political satirist Rick Mercer, Commonwealth Games and Pan-Am Games silver medalist Rosanna Tomiuk, and Canadian Idol winner Eva Avila.
Canadian high school and cegep students from 10 provinces and one territory participated in the National Democracy Challenge 2014. With 282 entries submitted, the initiative was a resounding success again this year.
The National Democracy Challenge is a hands-on learning activity launched every year as part of Canada's Democracy Week, an Elections Canada civic education initiative. Canada's Democracy Week 2015 will take place from September 14 to 21.
