(firmenpresse) - GATINEAU, QUEBEC -- (Marketwired) -- 01/05/16 -- Department of Canadian Heritage

This week, the Honourable Melanie Joly, Minister of Canadian Heritage, launched the 2016 Canada Day Challenge. This annual contest invites young Canadians aged 8 to 18 to express their creativity and the pride Canada inspires in them in the three following categories:

In total, nine finalists will be chosen, and one national winner in each category will be selected. Our three national winners will receive an all-expenses-paid trip to Ottawa for two (the finalist and a parent or a legal guardian) to take part in Canada Day activities. Their work will also be displayed on the official 2016 Celebrate Canada posters. In addition, the winners will have the opportunity to work with a team from the National Film Board to produce an individual short feature about their adventure in Canada's Capital.

Quotes

"Many young people in Canada turn to the arts to express their creativity. Their insightful outlook on the world around them deserves to be shared. This is why I invite each of them to take part in the Canada Day Challenge. In addition to enjoying a wonderful experience, they will have the chance to highlight their talent by showing what makes them proud to be Canadian with a drawing, photo or piece of creative writing. I look forward to discovering the creations and the unique vision that these young people will present to us."
