Aboriginal Arts & Stories Creative Contest for Aboriginal Youth

Aboriginal Arts & Stories is the largest and most recognized art & creative writing competition in Canada for Aboriginal youth.

Competition Guidelines

This year's deadline is March 31, 2014. The contest is open to Canadians of Aboriginal ancestry (Status, Non-Status, Inuit and Métis) between the ages of 14-29.

New this year: our competition is open to emerging writers and artists between the ages of 11-13!

Create a writing or art piece that explores a moment or theme in Aboriginal history or culture.

A 200-400 word Artist’s or Author’s Statement that explains how your piece reflects or interprets the moment or theme you selected must accompany your entry into the Aboriginal Arts & Stories competition.

You may enter online with your desktop computer, or by e-mail, mail or fax.
