July: Found Objects
Readymade. Things found on a path. Detritus. Garbage. Gems. Do you keep what you find? It’s easy to lose something and much harder to find another. From objects to ourselves, life is filled with constant circles of lost and found. Sometimes we loose things intentionally, and other times we find things by accident. Where do you see the theme of lost and found in your life? Use your mobile device to make a video then share it using #FoundObjects and #Blink on Instagram or Vine and tag and follow @akimboart.
Deadline: July 25 | Winner Announced: July 27 | Prize: Archival Dialogues (catalogue from Ryerson Image Centre)

August: I Live Here
What’s it like where you live? What do you love, what’s not to love? Are you settled there or passing through? Sometimes where we live, physically or in our heads, is destined, chosen, resisted or nurtured. Take us there in a short video! Use your mobile device to make a video then share it using #ILiveHere and #Blink on Instagram or Vine and tag and follow @akimboart.
Deadline: August 29 | Winner Announced: August 31 | Prize: Copy of Blackflash

September: Collecting
Art collections. Card, coin, shoe, seashell collections. Collections of memories. Seeking, locating, acquiring, organizing, cataloguing, displaying, storing, and maintaining – we are all collecting something in some way. Expand on the idea of “collecting”, show us your or someone else’s collections, and surprise us in a short video!Use your mobile device to make a video then share it using #Collecting and #Blink on Instagram or Vine and tag and follow @akimboart.
Deadline: September 26 | Winner Announced: September 28 | Prize: TBA 

October: Faces
Faces are personality. Faces are expression. Faces on people, animals, even inanimate objects. We make “faces” and we hide faces. What is it about a face that is so powerful? Explore one or many sides of “faces” in a video and share it with us. Use your mobile device to make a video then share it using #Faces and #Blink on Instagram or Vine and tag and follow @akimboart.
Deadline: October 31 | Winner Announced: November 1 | Prize: 1 Year Subscription to PhotoEd

November: Closeup
How does our understanding of something change when we get really close? The closeup is an intimate examination. It can reveal and it can obscure. Experiment with both the technique and idea of the closeup in some short videos. Use your mobile device to make a video then share it using #Closeup and #Blink on Instagram or Vine and tag and follow @akimboart.
Deadline: November 28 | Winner Announced: November 30 | Prize: TBA

 
December: I Want
To wish, need, crave, demand, or desire – for yourself or others. Do you want because you are without and in need? What do you deeply desire? Where does desire come from, and why does it hold such power over us? Share videos about and inspired by what you want. Use your mobile device to make a video then share it using #IWant and #Blink on Instagram or Vine and tag and follow @akimboart.
Deadline: December 21 | Winner Announced: December 23 | Prize: Copy of DISPATCH from the Ryerson Image Centre

The Other Side Web Series Contest is open to Canadians of Aboriginal ancestry (self-identified, Status, Non-Status, Inuit and Métis) between the ages of 15-30.

We invite you to submit short creative videos to a web series contest about the afterlife between June 21 and September 16, 2016. The contest encourages young First Nations, Inuit and Métis people to connect with the elders in your communities and ask what they believe happens after this life.

Winners will get some consultation with the production team behind the show, and also be eligible for prizes that are currently being fundraised through an Indiegogo campaign that ends on June 30. The goal is to raise $5500, which should leave about $5000 after fees paid to the platform and credit card companies. Whatever is raised will be split evenly among the winners (after the costs and fees for the crowdfunding campaign are subtracted).

To submit:

  • You must be a Canadian citizen between the ages of 15 and 30 years old.
  • You much be of Canadian Aboriginal ancestry (self-identified, Status, Non-Status, Inuit and Métis).
  • Youth are expected to approach and collaborate with elders in their communities to answer the question “what happens after this life?”
  • This question can then be answered in a short creative video (2-7 minutes in length), taking any form you want (documentary, scripted, animation, music video, etc).
  • Once the video is completed, upload it to Vimeo or YouTube and submit via our Contest Submission Form.
  • Submission means full acceptance of the Contest Rules and Regulations.
  • Minors submitting videos will also need to upload this Consent Form completed and signed by their parent or guardian.

Closes on September 16, 2016.

APPEL DE PROPOSITIONS: Animateur.trice d’une tournée mieux-être

Date de tombée: 15 juillet.

APPEL DE PROPOSITIONS: Animateur.trice d’une tournée mieux-être

La Fédération des jeunes francophones du N.-B. (FJFNB) est heureuse de s’associer au Mouvement Acadien des Communautés en Santé du N.-B. (MACS-NB) et à la Société Santé et Mieux-être en français du N.-B. (SSMEFNB) pour organiser une tournée sur la santé et le mieux-être dans les écoles secondaires francophones de la province. La FJFNB et ses partenaires cherchent un animateur ou une animatrice pour livrer cette tournée intitulée « 100T ». La description de la tournée et du travail demandé, les objectifs de la conférence-spectacle et les conditions pour l’obtention du contrat se trouvent ci-dessous.

Description de la tournée:

Temps visé : octobre – novembre 2016

Durée de la tournée : entre 5 et 6 semaines

Lieu de la tournée : écoles secondaires francophones du NB

Travail demandé :

1) Préparation et livraison d’une conférence-spectacle de 30 minutes environ portant sur le mieux-être, se déroulant pendant l’heure du midi devant les élèves

et le personnel de l’école souhaitant y assister.

2) Animation d’un atelier mieux-être dans les salles de classe de FPS 9e année, atelier ayant été monté préalablement par la FJFNB et le MACS-NB. La fréquence sera d’environ 3 à 4 ateliers par jour, dépendamment des écoles, et d’une durée d’une heure environ.

Pour donner une meilleure idée d’à quoi pourrait ressembler une journée typique de la tournée, voici un exemple :

• 9h – 10 h : Animation Atelier mieux-être cours de FPS 9e

• 10h – 11h : Animation Atelier mieux-être cours de FPS 9e

• 11h-12h : Repas

• 12h- 12h30 : Conférence-spectacle

• 13h-14h : Animation Atelier mieux-être cours de FPS 9e

Objectifs de la conférence-spectacle qui se déroulera sur l’heure du midi:

Nous souhaitons aborder le thème du mieux-être par le biais des arts de la scène. Ainsi, nous voulons que les élèves des écoles secondaires de la province se sentent inspirés à travailler sur leur propre mieux-être à partir du vécu personnel de l’animateur.trice, ou d’un scénario monté par celui-ci. L’important est que le tout soit livré d’une manière accessible et ludique. C’est-à-dire que le ton de la conférence-spectacle soit assez léger, l’humour, la musique ou toute autre forme d’art pouvant être incorporé. Voici quelques thèmes qui pourraient être abordés avec les jeunes. Tout d’abord qu’ils peuvent prendre leur santé en main, qu’elle leur appartient et que plusieurs facteurs déterminent leur qualité de santé. Ensuite, que la route vers l’atteinte du mieux-être n’est pas une route facile, toute tracée, mais qu’elle en vaut la peine. Et enfin, qu’il existe plusieurs façons d’agir pour améliorer son mieux-être soit par exemple, être à l’écoute de ses propres besoins, croire en l’avenir, avoir des amis, respecter son corps,

etc.

À noter que cette conférence-spectacle sera présentée sur l’heure du midi, soit dans l’auditorium de l’école ou même dans des lieux moins conventionnels (carrefour, cafétéria, etc.).

Conditions pour l’obtention du poste :

• Avoir une expérience en animation

• Avoir une expérience auprès du public 14-18 ans

• Avoir une expérience sur une scène

• Maitriser une forme d’art qui pourrait faciliter la livraison des messages
