MACEWAN 50

CREATIVE SUBMISSIONS

What do you think MacEwan will look like at 100? Create something to represent your idea – it could be anything from written to artwork to media – and submit for a chance to be selected for inclusion in the time capsule. 

We invite current students, staff and faculty to imagine what MacEwan University will be like 50 years from now and convey your vision of that future.

This could be in many forms, from written (stories, poems, songs, essays, plays) to artwork (photography, painting, sculpture, mixed media,) to media (videos, film, documentary) — or in whatever way that makes sense to you.

To be eligible to provide a submission, participants must:

  • Be a current student, faculty, or staff member at MacEwan University
  • Have a valid MacEwan University email address.

Creative submissions must meet the following criteria:

  • Be an original creative work of the participant
  • Be smaller than 27.75 x 19.75 x 30.5 inches
  • Be accompanied by a completed 2071 Time Capsule Submission Form that includes a description of the submission, an overview of how it conveys your vision of MacEwan in the next 50 years, and a photo of the final product or the final product itself.

Submissions will be selected for inclusion in the 2071 Time Capsule by a committee composed of MacEwan students, staff and faculty based on an assessment of the following criteria:

  • How well the submission conveys your vision of MacEwan in the next 50 years
  • How well the submission evokes an emotional response

Submissions chosen for the 2071 Time Capsule will be announced at the celebration weekend planned for the end of April. Those selected will be notified in early April so that arrangements can be made to receive your submission and produce a communications article on you and your work. We would appreciate those chosen to participate in unveiling their artwork at the time capsule event.

By providing a submission for the Time Capsule, selected participants acknowledge that they will be providing their creative work, and a description of their project to be sealed within the time capsule until 2071.

By providing a submission for the 2071 Time Capsule, each participant grants MacEwan University the irrevocable, royalty-free, non-exclusive, worldwide license to use, reproduce, and disseminate each entrant's content for digital and print promotional and marketing purposes, in perpetuity and each entrant hereby waives all moral rights with respect to that content.

Should the selected artist fail to provide the submission in a reasonable period of time, then MacEwan University, in its sole discretion, reserves the right to choose a new creative submission.

Deadline for submissions: March 25, 2022, at noon (MST).
