Young Indigenous artist sought for Okanagan water conference logo
The winning artist will receive $500, coaching from Syilx artist Evelyn Alec and all print-sale profits, organizers said.
- The Okanagan Basin Water Board, Okanagan Nation Alliance, and Canadian Water Resources Association launched a contest this month inviting Indigenous youth artists aged 14 to 30 to design the official logo for Environmental Flows 2026.
- Scheduled for October 7 to 9 in Kelowna, the third Environmental Flows conference seeks artwork visually expressing what it means for siwBk—water—to flow freely and what is lost when it cannot.
- The winning artist receives a $500 prize, 100 per cent of print profits from the event, and two expert coaching sessions with Syilx artist and lead artistic advisor Evelyn Alec.
- Interested artists must submit designs with contact details to carmen.weld@obwb.ca by July 9, with the winning piece featured on prints sold at the conference.
- This initiative coincides with elevated concerns regarding the Okanagan's long-term precipitation deficits, as communities adopt water use restrictions while preparing for another potential drought year.
