Call for art submissions for the Third Annual Music & Art Competition

February 11, 2025 — 
In collaboration with the Desautels Faculty of Music, St John's College is once again providing a stage for student creativity with its 3rd Annual Music & Art Competition. This much-anticipated event invites students from across campus to showcase their artistic and musical talents, and compete for cash prizes. St. John’s College oversees the art component of the competition, while the Desautels Faculty of Music manages the music component. The two come together on April 7th at the St John's Chapel for a special celebration of the arts, where students' talents will be highlighted in a live showcase and awards ceremony. Last year, we had sixteen submissions with three finalists, including Valentine Okoye Chukwukamike, Guiliana DaCunha Maoura, and Emily Ramsay.
