 ‘I take my stand’
This contest constitutes the first edition of its kind, a contest organized by the “Regional Youth Forums Table of Quebec”. It will serve to promote the place and image of the Youth by recognizing their creativity, their audacity and their talent. This program will also look to encourage the Youth in being more involved with their surrounding, to pursue their initiatives and to support their desire to take on responsibilities and contribute to the development of their society.
This contest will recognize a Youth within our territory of the Cree Nation who has outstood personally through a personal activity or within a group, and, by his/her motivation and involvement, has demonstrated a will to continue to be engaged in his/her community.
The application forms will be available through pamphlets which will be distributed through the communities, as well as on the Internet at www.takeyourstand.qc.ca
The following criteria will serve to judge every candidate’s application, which will be done by a selective jury:
-
The candidates’ submissions must be done by an organization, an association or a group that acts within the territory of the Youth Forum’s region. A Youth can also submit his/her own candidacy, but must join with it a letter of support from an organization, an association or a group.
-
People who are excluded for the contest are: those working for the Youth Forum, as well as Youth Councils; those who have done a scholastic-related work; those who are working within or are being paid for their activity.
-
Added information that is required will include: a text of a maximum of 4 pages which should describe the volunteering work of the candidate. This text should in turn include information concerning: the challenge, the social repercussions, the innovation, personal competences and the sharing of knowledge.
-
Due to the fact that the winning candidate will be making a trip to both Quebec City and France as part of their selection, the candidate will need to be able to speak and understand French, as well as have a valid passport.
-
Since we are doing this for our Cree Nation region, the candidate must be Cree.
This contest should serve to give light and make visible those who make contributions to their communities outside their work. Although there will be only one winning candidate, we should all recognize and encourage any work done from volunteers who go out of their way to help make our communities better, and to those who pursue their bright ideas of creativity and commitment.
