Previously students selected by the various craft institutions around the province were invited to submit a student from their program to participate in a group exhibition at CCBC’s gallery. In 2013 we changed the focus of our student award program to additionally support the development of a critical assessment of contemporary craft in students. Students now have the opportunity to participate in a group exhibition, a free one-year membership in CCBC, take part in a jury workshop delivered by an experienced senior craft artist and finally to use these skills to jury the bi-annual Online Student Exhibition.
