The Nisga’a Fish and Wildlife Department is happy to announce the winners of our 2014-15 Art Contest! Our judges were faced with tough decisions, in choosing winners from the many creative and beautiful entries received. All submissions were judged on their originality, connection with the theme, and artistic merit. All the entries were great, but in the end we had to choose some winners.

The following artists will be awarded prizes for their fine work:

In the Kindergarten to Grade 4 Category:

1^st Place - Lennox Mercer

2^nd Place – Cadence Robinson

3^rd Place – Liam Stevens

4^th Place – Logan Percival

In the Grade 5 to Grade 9 Category:

2^nd Place – Xavier Percival

3^rd Place – James Griffin

4^th Place – Kenyon Tait

Prizes will be awarded at the upcoming Fish and Wildlife Consultation meetings in April. We would like to thank all the participants for their efforts and remind them to be on the lookout for our next contest. In the meantime, we’ll be “fishing” around for new ideas. We’d like to hear yours!
