Four talented artists from across the school district have been awarded scholarships from The ACT.
Kamil Gallus from Pitt Meadows Secondary 蜜桃传媒 and Gladys Zhao from Meadowridge 蜜桃传媒 both received a scholarship in visual/media arts.
Ethan Page from Maple Ridge Secondary 蜜桃传媒 and Nicky Walton from Maple Ridge Christian 蜜桃传媒 both received scholarships in music.
As part of the awards process, students had to submit artistic portfolios and were then interviewed by an adjudication panel of artistic professionals and instructors.
Students who apply for the scholarships are evaluated on a combination of demonstrated artistic achievement, technical skill and level of presentation, grades relating to the artistic category, personal resum茅, and planned attendance at a post-secondary institution.
鈥淲inning this scholarship reaffirms my ability and skills in visual art,鈥� said award recipient Gallus, adding that he is proud of his art and is now further motivated to pursue a career in the field.
