The Department of Communications at Okanagan College is holding a contest to help spread the word about its new Media and Cultural Studies Diploma.
We have an exciting, new program with great profs and we want to help more people understand what’s available at OC.
- Create an 11” x17” poster that helps us spread the word about the Media and Cultural Studies Diploma at OC, or
The only thing that we ask is that all content must be original or rights-free. So that means you can’t use copyrighted material, i.e. songs, photos, audio or moving images that belong to other people, in either your poster or web video.
Three great prizes are available for those who we choose to be the best at helping us Spread the Word:
- 1st place--$1000 tuition voucher for full-time enrollment in OC’s Arts program
- 2nd place—A Norco Men’s City Glide 3 urban bike, perfect for cruising to school with ($660 retail value, courtesy of our cool friends at Kelowna Cycle)
