BEAC National Student Award Application

Thank you for your interest in the BEAC National Student Awards. The entry submission deadline has now passed for the 2010-2011 competition. Currently the files are being organized and sent to the respective judging committees, across the country.

The judging will take place between the May 2nd and 11th, and winners will be notified once the decisions are filed with the BEAC’s Awards Committee. We’d be delighted to welcome as many winners as are able to attend this year’s Awards Gala, which takes place as part of our annual Professional Development conference, this year in Victoria, BC.

After your submission is registered, you will receive a confirmation e-mail and should receive further instructions on the uploading / couriering step. If you do not receive these instructions, please e-mail Jim Carr at Jim [dot] Carr [at] senecac.on.ca to check the status of your submission.
