It is with great pleasure that the Cowichan Foundation announces the winners of the Fourth Annual Michael Coleman Visual Poetry Competition & Film Festival. This contest is a wonderful opportunity to honour our beloved Michael Coleman, who was so many things to our community, a founder of the Cowichan Foundation, and a passionate poet. The turnout to our new format this year surpassed our expectations and warmed our hearts.
We know Mike would have loved all the entries and would be very proud. Congratulations to the following winners:
1st Place ($5,000) – Alexander Wayne
2nd Place ($2,500) – Charlotte Irving
3rd Place ($1,000) – Norah Dodd
Literary Excellence Award ($500) – Leily Odin Foell
We look forward to next year’s submissions! The Cowichan Foundation is a proud supporter of Arts and Education in the Cowichan Valley.
