MORE DETAILS

The Skills Ontario Competition is an annual provincial competition that takes place in Toronto. There, students from all corners of Ontario participate in a competition related to a specific skill. These range from 2D Animation to AutoCad Design to Baking. The top three in each event receive a medal and also receive a pin to give to their teacher.

In advance of the Skills Ontario Competition which takes place in May, Skills Ontario runs both a Pin Design competition and a Medal Design competition. Students simply need to provide a hardcopy (printout or hand sketch) of a pin or medal design.

The student with the best design is recognized for his/her work. That design is used in the manufacturing of all pins/medals. The student may also receive other prizes. For example, in 2017, there is a 250$ cash prize. It should be noted that this is a prestigious award to win and would be an excellent addition to your resume and portfolio.
