Submitting your work

How do Aboriginal people maintain their language, culture, identity, traditional knowledge, traditional art and spirituality when living in an urban centre?

We invite you to submit your original works of art in as many categories as you wish. We are looking for works in various media, such as visual art, graffiti, film, video, music, poetry, literature, theatre and traditional art.  

Who may submit?

We want to hear from youth, elders, spiritual leaders, members of the art community, Aboriginal teachers, university professors, professionals, high school, university and college students.

Each submission must be accompanied by a description (250-500 words describing what you are submitting and why) along with a brief Web text description  (max 150 words). Web text descriptions will be subject to editing and translation into French or English.

All submissions must be presented in digitized format. You may submit works in more than one category. Please do not submit slides or original works.
