Calling all creative Richmond youth. This is your chance to showcase your artistic talents and help shape the future of Richmond. Art is a powerful way to express your ideas and share what matters to you. 

Submit your artwork by Sunday, June 1 to enter a contest for a chance to have it featured on the cover or inside the Official Community Plan—an important strategy that will guide how Richmond grows in the coming years. 

Artwork should represent one or more of the Official Community Plan Targeted Update topics, including housing affordability, adapting to climate change, fairness for all who live in Richmond and more, all of which are detailed in the contest brief at LetsTalkRichmond.ca/OCPYouthArtContest.

The contest is open to all school-aged children (elementary to secondary school) who are students at a Richmond school or residents of Richmond. Individual or groups (maximum of three) can participate.

Following the submission period, community members will have an opportunity to vote for their favourite artwork submissions either online or in-person at future community open houses. Prizes will be awarded to youth whose artwork receives the most votes.

This contest aims to showcase the city through the eyes of youth, illustrating where creativity meets the future.
