Portfolio Contest

Have a portfolio put together for work term interviews? Why not use it to win money and prizes!

IABC Maritime Canada is hosting a portfolio competition for students at Mount Saint Vincent University next Thursday, February 11. This is a great opportunity to have experienced communicators provide feedback on your portfolio. And best of all, entry is free!

The student with the winning portfolio will receive an $100 prize as well as a one-year student membership to IABC. Each participant will also receive a certificate of participation that can be added to their portfolios.

The portfolio competition will take place in Seton 526 next Thursday, February 11. Participants will sign up for 10 minute presentation slots between 5 and 7 PM. Participants have those 10 minutes to explain the layout and design of their portfolios to the judges. Portfolios will be judged on content, creativity, presentation, consistency, organization of material, and overall appearance.

Contact Kira Scharwey to sign up for time slots at kira.scharwey@msvu.ca, or on her cell at (902) 483-3483. Presentation times will be given on a first come, first serve basis.
