CAPIC (The Canadian Association of Professional Image Creators) holds an annual national student competition, Rodeo, now in its sixth year. In 2013, IDEA students claimed First, Second and Third Places, and six finalist spots.

This spring, Ksenia Kozhevnikova’s Toxic Beauty (above, top) won First Place and Shu Chen Li won Third Place for Chinese Academics (above). And the Runner Up list was made up entirely of IDEA students: Christopher Winter (for 2 entries), Aaron Campbell, Cristian Fowlie (2), Emily Pedriks, and Shu Chen Li. Brava and bravo to all!
