The 2023 CMHA Cash Calendar Art Call!

Show us, What Makes You Smile!

We’re back for another exciting year of Artwork! The CMHA Cash Calendar is now accepting submissions for our 2023 edition!

It’s been a rough couple of years for most of us, so this year we want you to approach the contest with some bright, shiny optimism. We want to know what makes you smile, what makes you happy, what brings joy into your life? That’s the theme for the 2023 calendar. Submissions should showcase that special thing that never fails to brighten your day.

We’re also extremely excited to announce, new to this year, the CMHA Cash Calendar Art Call will have its very own Gallery Space in Regina at the Conexus Arts Centre! We are working in partnership with the Conexus Arts Centre this year and they have chosen to sponsor the Calendar with a significant amount of wall space in their facility. That means, all submissions this year will not only be eligible for a spot in the CMHA Cash Calendar, submissions will also be eligible to be viewed publically at the Conexus Arts Centre! This is a first for the Calendar and we are hoping to make this an annual event moving forward 😀

All entries must be from Saskatchewan residents only.

All submissions must be received no later than Midnight, May 2nd, 2022.


 

Please submit ALL entries to:

Submission Deadline:  Midnight May 2nd, 2022
(We can not accept submissions after the cut-off deadline due to production timelines)

For those who may not know, the Canadian Mental Health Association is a Not-For-Profit, Non-Governmental organization that has been advocating for people with lived experience for over 100 years!

Our CMHA Cash Calendar has been our organization’s primary fundraiser throughout its long history and continues to help fund a variety of important CMHA programs here in Saskatchewan.

In 2020, the CMHA Saskatchewan Division launched the H.O.P.E Learning Centre. Helping Others thru Peer Support or H.O.P.E. is a brand new initiative modelled after the Recovery Collage model where individuals can enroll in a variety of life skill courses to help build resilience and learn healthier coping strategies for when times get tough. Our H.O.P.E. Learning Centre was the natural evolution of our “Friends For Life” program. During the Fundraising portion of the CMHA Cash Calendar, all proceeds will go towards the HOPE Learning Centre. Visit their website by clicking here.

We hope that this call for artwork inspires you to continue supporting CMHA Saskatchewan`s great work, and gives everyone in our province a chance to share their mental health story. Good luck and get creating!


We want to thank our Sponsors for the 2023 Cash Calendar
