Event Description

The 2022 Canada Youth Visual Art Contest (CYVAC) is hosted by Youth Initiative Vancouver (YIV), and co-organized by Academy of Modern Art (AOMA). The contest aims to encourage multicultural communication and philanthropic endeavors and to discover outstanding artistic and design talents around the world.

During last year’s CYVAC, we received over 1200 outstanding entries from 20 countries and regions. The winning art and design pieces were selected by our jury, including internationally esteemed artists, top university art professors, and renowned senior-level competition judges. Through fundraising and a charity sale featuring winning pieces, $14,000 CAD was raised to benefit UNICEF. This year, we will be fundraising in support of BC Children’s Hospital Foundation, the only hospital in the province devoted exclusively to the care of children. Our contest organizers have six years of experience hosting international art events and we’re looking forward to the success of CYVAC this year!

Contests Themes (choose one of two):
Climate Change:
Climate change is threatening the survival of humans and millions of species on earth. For example, it causes sea-level rise, resulting in flood risks and imbalance of marine ecology. Let’s use art to record the beauty of the land and the sea, and bring awareness to this issue! We call on everyone to pay attention to global warming caused by climate change, be alert to possible disasters, and cherish and protect our environment.

Love & Care:
Life is full of challenges, but these challenges can also be opportunities for us to care for, and love each other more as we go through extraordinary and uncertain days together. Especially during the pandemic, love and care have helped us overcome one difficulty after another. Use art to express the warmth you feel for others, whether it’s for your parents, classmates, friends, pets, or even strangers in need.

There are no restrictions on the materials used to create the submissions, including but not limited to drawing, painting, illustration, cartoons, animation, short videos, photography, digital art, sculpture, installation art and design pieces such as visual design, fashion design, interior design, user interaction design and architecture design etc.

$30 CAD per entry with $10 of each fee will be donated to BC Children’s Hospital Foundation.
