The GDC/BC Salazar Student Awards was established in 1985 by The Society of Graphic Designers of Canada/British Columbia Chapter in honour of Enrique Salazar. Enrique Salazar was one of the founding members of the society and the national representative for the BC chapter for two years. He was a partner in Salazar Graphics, and taught graphic design at Capilano College until his death in June of 1985. Metropolitan Fine Printers is the founding sponsor of this event.
The structure of the awards has changed from previous years and is now open to all students, regardless of what year of the design or advertising program they are in, as well as 2007 grads of these programs. Categories are no longer based on 2, 3 or 4 year programs, but instead are open to all design students under three new categories of Advertising, Print Design and Interactive Design.
A judging committee comprised of top professionals of the GDC/BC will be reviewing and selecting the winners and honourable mentions. Judging will be based on the strategy and rationales of the pieces as well as the level of visual execution. Judging will be held on Thursday, June 7th, 2007. Winning students and honourable mentions will be promoted to the design, advertising and business communities through an awards evening and exhibit of their work.
