APTN Flag Contest

APTN is inviting young people between the ages of 12 -17 from across the country to design a flag that represents the richness and diversity of all of Canada’s Aboriginal Peoples, and which illustrates what National Aboriginal Day means to them personally. As Canada’s only Aboriginal television network, this contest is just one of the ways APTN is providing opportunities for young people to share their vision and pride of Aboriginal culture and heritage.
The contest winner and a parent/guardian will be flown to Winnipeg to receive his/her prize and be part of APTN’s National Aboriginal Day celebrations. The winning flag will also fly on top of APTN’s headquarters in downtown Winnipeg. The winner will earn a cash prize of $500 and, if the design was initiated as part of a school project, his/her school will also receive $750 towards the purchase of learning materials.
