The Rat Creek Press, a non-profit, volunteer-run community newspaper in North Central Edmonton, is looking for an artist to design an award to honour our community members in the areas of Building Community, Encouraging Communication and Increasing Capacity.

The chosen artist will receive $500 plus a free ad in the Rat Creek Press. The artist will be acknowledged at our presentation ceremony in late April. Your design will be replicated for future awards. Upon selection, the artist may not sell, lease, rent or gift the design or prototype to other individuals or groups.
If you are still interested, you can get the full details here …
