Young Citizens Contest 2015

Heritage Saskatchewan is pleased to partner with Canada’s History Society to deliver their Young Citizens Contest in 2015. The Young Citizens Contest is a national program wherein individual students create four-minute videos about their Heritage Fairs topics. These videos are submitted to Canada’s History and posted on their website for public voting. Two winners from each province and territory will be chosen to go to Ottawa to participate in the 2nd Young Citizens Youth Forum. Last year’s inaugural forum was a resounding success and our Saskatchewan winners had a wonderful experience (see related blog post here). We look forward to more amazing and insightful projects from our students for 2015! Students will be chosen to participate in the Young Citizens contest from among those attending the Regional Heritage Fairs. These students will be given the opportunity to attend a separate workshop to learn and hone their videography and editing skills. The deadline for video submission is June 5th, 2015. Online voting will be from June 11th to July 10th – so stayed tuned to Heritage Happenings for more information at a closer date.
