The Cowrie Street Banner Project began in 1994 as a joint venture between
the Sechelt Chamber of Commerce and the Sunshine coast Arts Centre. Every
fall, students in Kindergarten to Grade 12 in every school
on the Sunshine coast are asked to submit designs for the banners, which
are then hung on Cowrie Street the following summer. In approximately
2003, the priorities of the Chamber of Commerce changed, and the project
is now sponsored entirely by the Sunshine Coast Arts Council.
After all the entries are received, they are put on exhibition in the gallery
of the Sunshine Coast Arts Centre for three weeks, in conjunction with the
Young Artists Awards exhibition. A committee selects the 17 finalists, and
the winners are honoured at an awards ceremony on the final day of
the exhibition. They are presented with a certificate of appreciation and
a T-shirt with their design printed on it.
The work will be put on exhibition in the gallery of the Sunshine Coast
Arts Centre for three weeks
