Ethyl Boyce Achievement Award

11/13/2014

Mrs. Ruth A Laing created the ETHEL BOYCE ACHIEVEMENT AWARD in 1998 through a donation in memory of her sister Miss Ethel Phoebe Boyce.

Miss Boyce was an avid softball player who had a professional and personal interest in people. She was particularly interested in young people and helping them to succeed in life.

The award is administered by Softball Canada and is given annually awarded to a female and male recipient. It is expected that the award winners will have exhibited leadership traits and skills in softball. Both recipients receive $1,000. The award is meant to help defray the costs of education and/or playing softball. The award winners will be announced at the annual Softball Canada Congress (formerly known as the Annual General Meeting).

To qualify for this award the applicant must be:

Registered with a provincial/territorial association
A resident of the province or territory
In attendance at a recognized Canadian post secondary educational institution

Softball Canada by September 15 of each year must receive a letter of application, a completed application form, along with a letter of endorsement from the provincial/territorial office.

Note: Reference letter(s) must be included whenever possible.

WAR AND MEDIA
Independent war correspondents have kept Canadians informed about armed conflicts throughout the world since the mid-19th century. The media has historically acted as a conduit for information, linking the military abroad with the public at home. During a conflict, the public wants to know about its armed forces, the media wants to tell informative stories and the military wants to control information, either to protect its activities or showcase its accomplishments.

Original submissions for this year’s competition should explore the relationship between the military on operations, the media and the public in a Canadian context. It should deal with a conflict that either occurred in Canada in which Canadian personnel participated such as the First or Second World War, or Afghanistan. Some possible topics include, but are not limited to:

the impact of technology and social media on war reporting;
the work of a specific war correspondent;
the coverage of a Canadian peacekeeping operation(s);
the dangers and ethical challenges faced by journalists in the field.

Students may submit ONE entry in either of the media listed below:

Text (i.e. essay, poetry, fiction, non-fiction, journalism)
Visual Art (i.e. photography, drawing, painting, 3-D elements)
Audio or Video Productions (i.e. songs, documentaries, commentaries, films)
