Élise T. from Richmond Hill, ( Norval-Morrisseau High School ) wins 2nd prize in the 14-15 years old category.
Thanks to a generous donation from the Baxter&Alma Ricard Foundation to Amicitia for this contest, the winners received their prizes in the amount of $100 to $150.
In addition, Charles Pachter, eminent Canadian artist and president of the jury, invites them for a private visit of his studio in early 2022.
Amicitia congratulates all participants (each of whom received a certificate of participation) and invites them to participate in the 2022 contest, to publicize it in their schools, and to create an "Amicitia Circle" in their schools with the support of their teachers.
To promote the France-Canada Friendship, Amicitia wants to involve all generations and to rely on the Youth to make this fraternity between the two countries live and amplify. This intergenerational approach is essential for the future.
