Courtenay Rock and Gem Club would like to announce a contest. An art contest. For youth aged 12 yrs and under. We are a non profit family oriented club that meets once a month to exchange ideas, we go on rockhounding trips to collect specimens, we gather occasionally for rock shows and we operate a workshop where rough rock can be cut, shaped, polished, and made into jewellery.
Our annual Gem and Mineral Show is planned for May 5th and 6th this year, to be held at the Courtenay Legion Hall, Cliff Ave. We are booking tables right now for dealers and demonstrators, and there will be displays of polished and cut stone, crystals, fossils, and jewellery.
In preparation for the show, we are holding an art contest for youth, the winning artwork will adorn our show posters, which will be posted in the windows with merchants around town. The theme for the artwork will be � What Rockhound�s Do�
There are very few rules, the artwork must be original, no copies or tracing permitted, and may not be produced mechanically. Two dimensional artwork only.
Crayon, pencil, ink, watercolours, oil, pastels, all are welcome. Bonus for any original art forms!
The judging will be done by the Rock and Gem Club executive at the next monthly meeting in Courtenay, and families are encouraged to attend. Contestants should bring artwork along with them to our meeting to see what we do. More information is available on the Courtenay Rock and Gem Club Facebook Page.
Queries can be directed to the show chairman at: [email protected] or by calling 703-0100


We are looking forward to getting some great entries!
Winning entries will be displayed at the show, and prizes will be awarded to the best artwork.
