At SIFE Simon Fraser’s Let’s Can Hunger, we aim to reduce hunger problems for the local community, as well as to help them achieve a sustainable life. If you are interested in an opportunity to show off your creativity for a PRIZE, take part in SIFE Let’s Can Hunger’s latest campaign,“How Creative CAN You Get?”.

Why: Food Banks BC states that 87 food banks in British Columbia help feed over 70,000 people each month; however, the majority of food banks receive NO GOVERNMENT FUNDING and depend on the public to help in the fight against hunger. For that reason SIFE Simon Fraser takes part in a campaign called Let’s Can Hunger to increase awareness of hunger among young people in British Columbia.

What: Each type of canned good has its very own design; we would like to see how you can make your own unique design! There are no limitations to what you do with the can whether it’s making partial changes, a complete makeover, or stacking cans together to create a can sculpture!

When: Competition has started!  Deadline to submit your design is December 5^th, 2011.

How: Take a picture and submit your work to marketing@sifesimonfraser.com. Your design will be put up onhttp://www.facebook.com/#!/sifesimonfraser for people to vote on. Once you’ve submitted your design, we really encourage that you also donate your canned good with the design to our SIFE offices at Burnaby: WMC 2371 or at Surrey: 5010.  We will then donate the canned goods to the SFU food bank to distribute to the local community.

Why: Owner of most liked picture will win a 50 Dollars Gift Card to Best Buy!

At the same time, a random draw will decide 2 lucky winners to a 20 Dollars Gift Card to Tim Hortons each.

Bet you’re all pumped up!  In the case that you don’t actually have time to make your own design, feel free to browse other participants’ submissions on http://www.facebook.com/#!/sifesimonfraser and vote for the one you like best!

Are you looking for outstanding business experience on your resume?

Canada’s Next Top Ad Exec is a national advertising and marketing case competition run by McMaster University’s DeGroote School of Business. Students are challenged to create a five million dollar marketing campaign for the all-new 2013 Chevrolet Spark!

With over $30,000 in prizes, including two $2,500 scholarships and two $1,000 scholarships, now is your chance! You could win a scholarship, prizes, and maybe even the keys to your very own 2013 Chevrolet Spark. PLUS the chance to network with industry execs, and earn internships in marketing and communications along the way.
