City of Richmond
The City of Richmond is excited to announce the winners of the Youth Art Contest, which was part of the Official Community Plan (OCP) update. Open to local youth, the contest invited creative submissions of artwork representing Richmond’s future. Twenty youth of diverse ages submitted artwork in various mediums including watercolour, mixed-media and digital art.
“Congratulations to all the participants and winners of the Youth Art Contest,” said Mayor Malcolm Brodie. “Your inspiring creativity reflects the spirit of Richmond and shows a deep understanding of our city’s future. Each piece beautifully captures the themes of the Official Community Plan update and highlights the unique vision our youth bring to shaping Richmond. Thank you for sharing your talent.”
Over 400 community members voted for their top three favourite submissions online and at in-person OCP open house engagement sessions. The winning pieces, created by youth who reside in Richmond, were selected for their creativity, relevance to the OCP update, and vision of Richmond’s future.
