About Boddi Advertising Series

Boddi.com aims to end the damaging cycle of unhealthy body image by inspiring mothers to choose a better message to pass on to their daughters. Boddi recognizes that the way the people closest to you view their bodies can have a profound impact on the way you think about your own, and that young girls look to their mothers as examples for how to talk about and think about their bodies. This poster trio points mothers towards Boddi.com and challenges them to think about the language we use to describe our bodies, and the impact it can have on the next generation. 

About Applied Arts Awards

Since 1992, the Applied Arts Awards have been an internationally recognized standard for creative excellence. We are the only Canadian competition that recognizes the work of both professionals and students across the visual communications spectrum - covering everyone from image-makers to advertising creatives, marketing gurus to graphic designers.

For over 25 years, the Applied Arts Student Awards have given students a competitive advantage as they enter the workforce.

Winning a student award just might help students land their first job in the creative industry, but winners don't just get a boost in self-confidence. They also have their work published in our Student Awards Annual and online in the Applied Arts Winners Gallery – seen by more than 50,000 influential creative professionals working in the visual communications arena.

About Jim Rimmer Scholarship

The Jim Rimmer Community Scholarship for Design Award is awarded annually to students whose project supports a community program, social cause, non-profit, or an environmental or social cause.

The Jim Rimmer Community Scholarship for Design Award is an opportunity for students to submit a completed project (or one currently in progress) for a community program, a non-profit, or an environmental or social cause. Students who are currently enrolled in a design program in British Columbia or who have graduated within the past year are eligible. Scholarships will be awarded on the strength the solution, and how effectively it communicates a message, benefits a community, affects action and promotes change.
