GDC/BC Salazar Student Awards [thanks to BC Chapter for image at top]
The Salazar Student Award was established by the GDC/BC in February 1985 in honour of Enrique Salazar, one of the founding members of the Society and the national representative for the BC Chapter for two years. He was a partner in Salazar Graphics and taught graphic design at Capilano College until his death in June of 1985. The Salazar Student Award therefore honours and recognizes the cream of the crop of each years’ design graduates—and promotes them to the design community.

Awards also includes cash honorariums of $500.00, a GDC Graduate Membership for the following year and an award certificate, all through the GDC/BC and the Metropolitan Fine Printers Scholarship Fund, created in support of design education in BC.

Open to graduating students of 2, 3- and 4-year design programmes in British Columbia (including Vancouver Island), the criteria demands that written rationales accompany the work—be it finished pieces, rough concepts, or strategic briefs. If it involves the development of skills related to design and communication, it will be judged—no matter what the medium. Applicants must be a Student Member of the GDC.

Contact the BC Chapter VP Education for more information.
